Pons for MS patient

Hi - i am planning to pursue Pons treatment for Multiple sclerosis. Was wondering if anyone has some experience or feedback or suggestion. Thank you!

  1. Hi, !


    I know there have been conversations within this community about PONS, but I am not sure how many of our members have tried it. I thought you might appreciate this information (and the many comments following the article) on PONS -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/portable-neuromodulation-stimulator. And here's another discussion from our forums -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/forums/pons. One of the comments is allegedly from one of the physios on one of the clinical trials, so you might find that comment especially interesting.


    I do hope any members with personal experience will chime in here. And, should you choose to pursue PONS, I would love for you to share your experiences here.

    1. I will be very interested in your progress. I discussed trying PONS with my neurologist. She said she didn't think the device was useful. What does make a difference, she thinks, is the huge amount of physiotherapy PONS users have to do. She said that studies and reports don't often point this out.and m9st MS patients dont do much physiotherapy atball. Well, I've hd good results from the physiotherapy I've done in a clinic that focuses on neurologicalproblems. Thry understand MS very well. I decided to keep doing that; the PONS unit is very expensive in Canada, too expensive for me right now.
