Podcasts about Sexual dysfunction

In this episode of Taboo To Truth, I sit down with Stacey Roberts, PT, RN, MSN — a physical therapist and holistic nurse with over 30 years of experience in pelvic health, and one of the country's leading experts in shockwave therapy for pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction. Stacey breaks down why up to 30% of women may experience vulvodynia (and why that number is likely underreported), how chronic low back pain can actually be rooted in a tight, "upregulated" pelvic floor, and why men are even less likely than women to get evaluated for pelvic floor issues. We dig into the emotional and physical toll of being told "it's all in your head," the fascia's role in referred pain, and how shockwave — a completely external, non-invasive technology originally developed to break up kidney stones — is now accelerating healing for incontinence, painful intercourse, erectile dysfunction, and vaginismus. Stacey also shares an eyebrow-raising pilot finding on shockwave and testosterone. This is part one of a two-part conversation — part two is coming soon.In this episode: 00:00 Shockwave Therapy?!00:45 Welcome to Taboo to Truth01:15 Meet Stacey Roberts: 30+ Years in Pelvic & Sexual Health01:45 How Common Is Pelvic Pain & Sexual Dysfunction, Really?03:00 Low Back Pain: Foam Roller Fix or Something Deeper?06:00 Men vs. Women: Why Pelvic Pain Shows Up Differently09:00 Surgery, "It's All in Your Head," and the Repressed Emotion Connection12:30 Pelvic Floor & Sexual Dysfunction: Shoutout to Dr. Lance Frank14:15 The Pudendal Nerve: How Internal Treatment Improves External Sensation16:30 Non-Surgical Treatment Options: Pelvic Floor Therapy, Fascia & Botox19:00 From Kidney Stones to Muscles: The History of Shockwave Therapy20:30 What Shockwave Actually Feels Like (and the Vaginismus Case Study)22:15 Shockwave, Testosterone & Treating Testicular Health23:45 Wrap-Up: Part Two Is Coming — Subscribe & FollowWant a deeper look?

Most men today are living in a constant state of stress, tension, and survival mode — and they don't even realize it.This "always on" nervous system state affects far more than your mood. It impacts your confidence, your relationships, your ability to lead, your testosterone levels, and your sexual health.In this podcast, I break down why so many men are stuck in fight-or-flight, how this shows up as performance anxiety, premature ejaculation, erectile inconsistency, people-pleasing, overthinking, and lack of purpose, and what you can do to begin reversing it.We'll explore the connection between stress hormones, nervous system regulation, masculine presence, sexual vitality, porn consumption, modern technology, and the practices I've found most effective for helping men reconnect with their bodies and reclaim their energy.In this podcast you'll learn:• Why stress and survival mode destroy sexual performance• The connection between nervous system health and testosterone• How overthinking, anxiety, and "Nice Guy Syndrome" are related• Why modern technology and overstimulation are draining men• How pelvic floor tension reflects a stressed nervous system• Why nervous system regulation is essential for confidence and masculinity• Practical ways to begin shifting out of survival modeSex is one of the most honest mirrors you'll ever encounter.If you can't regulate your mind, your emotions, and your body, it will show up in your relationships and in the bedroom.The good news is that these patterns can be changed.Get my FREE Ebook - 3 Techniques for Legendary Ejaculation Control:

If Part 1 was about the field of sexual medicine, Part 2 is about the marriage at the center of it. Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz return to their conversation with Dr. Irwin and Sue Goldstein, and this time, the questions get more personal. How do you stay married for fifty years? What does great sex actually look like across the decades? And what happens when a woman who has spent her career in sexual medicine starts experiencing low desire herself? Sue Goldstein opens up about her own journey through peri-menopause and the slow erosion of her libido- what she calls "duty sex", and the medications that brought not just her sex drive back, but a playfulness in her marriage she hadn't realized had gone missing. She walks listeners through her menopause toolbox of five treatments, explains why she's "76 and feels like she's in her 50s", and dismantles the lingering fears from the Women's Health Initiative that have kept generations of women in what she calls hormone prison. Dr. Irwin shares his own daily protocols for sexual health, why he believes most older men are leaving capacity on the table, and the surprising data from their own clinic- that more than half the Vyleesi prescriptions they write are off-label for men. They explore why dopamine is dopamine, regardless of gender. The reality of persistent genital arousal disorder. And a remarkable story of a teenage horseback rider whose chronic arousal turned out to be a herniated disc. This episode is full of practical wisdom, clinical innovation, and one of the most real conversations about long-term love you'll hear all year. The Goldsteins' secret to fifty years of marriage? Best friends, good sex, and the willingness to keep trying new things — including a chocolate sauce on the day before you change the sheets. Irwin Goldstein, MD, IF (he/him/his).

Comprehensive sexual health care requires time and a team approach. I'm joined by two of my team members Karen Badley, my nurse practitioner, and Grace Prete, our pelvic floor physical therapist.We talk about why complex conditions like pelvic pain, painful sex, and hormonal changes don't fit into 10-minute appointments. You can't address someone's full picture when insurance only reimburses for quick visits. We discuss why multidisciplinary care matters, why pelvic floor therapy sessions need real time, and why treating hormonal health alongside aesthetics makes a difference.This conversation is about what patients deserve and why the traditional insurance model makes that impossible. We talk about treating the whole person, not just symptoms. Last year, I transitioned to a concierge model after over a decade of taking insurance because this is how medicine should be practiced.HighlightsGenitourinary syndrome of lactation is similar to GSM in menopause.Upper cross syndrome from breastfeeding and tech neck causes cervical spine issues.Visible light from phones and screens worsens hyperpigmentation (tinted mineral sunscreen helps).Tight pelvic floor muscles are actually the weakest, not the strongest.Insurance bundles entire pregnancy into one fee with no separate postpartum reimbursement.Patients can see multiple providers on the same day for coordinated care.f you're struggling with sexual health issues, pelvic pain, or hormonal changes and feel like your appointments are too rushed, consider seeking comprehensive care.

Trigger Warning: This episode mentions child on child sexual abuse, child sexual absue material, and the duggar family scandals. Please listen with awareness. We live in a sexually broken world. It seems like we are hearing new scandals breaking weekly where an adult has harmed children or a child has been hurt by another child.  Today we are exploring how negative beliefs, often within extremely rigid faith culture, can contribute to negative patterns. We then discuss alternatives that we suggest may be a healthier alternative for how to prep and support our children to having healthier relationships to sexuality within themselves and others.

In this solo episode of GynoCurious, Dr. Amy discusses female sexual dysfunction following her attendance at the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health (ISSWSH) annual meeting in Long Beach, California. She begins by highlighting a troubling gap in healthcare: despite 30-59% of adult women experiencing sexual dysfunction, the majority of physicians don't ask about sexual activity or comfort during appointments, and patients rarely bring it up themselves. Dr. Amy emphasizes that sexual health is an integral part of overall health and should include discussions about both dysfunction and pleasure. Dr. Amy explores the four main categories of female sexual dysfunction as defined by ISSWSH: hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), female sexual arousal disorder, female orgasmic disorder, and genital pelvic pain or penetration disorder. She explains that these conditions must be chronic, lasting at least six months and occurring in at least 75% of sexual experiences while causing personal distress. The episode covers the complex, multifaceted nature of sexual health problems, acknowledging that causes can range from physical issues like hormonal changes and medical conditions to psychological factors including stress, trauma, relationship problems, and sociocultural influences. The episode concludes with an empowering call to action, urging women to be brave and demand attention for this important aspect of their health. Dr. Amy reassures listeners that treatments are available and can range from simple solutions like vaginal moisturizers and lubricants to more complex interventions including hormonal treatments, pelvic physical therapy, and specialized counseling. She encourages anyone experiencing distressing sexual dysfunction to seek help from clinicians trained in women's sexual health, emphasizing that working toward better intimacy is absolutely worth pursuing.

Note: This episodes contains discussion and language of a sexual nature and may not be appropriate for all audiences.In this episode of Marrow Masters, we sit down with Dr. Christian Nelson, a psychologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and an expert in psycho-oncology, to address a deeply personal yet often overlooked topic: male sexual dysfunction following cancer treatment. Together, we explore how treatments can impact not only physical function but emotional well-being, identity, and relationships.We start by acknowledging that sexual dysfunction is one of the most common side effects of cancer treatment, second only to fatigue. Yet, it's rarely discussed. Dr. Nelson emphasizes the importance of normalizing the conversation and encouraging patients to raise the issue with their treatment teams. He walks us through the emotional toll that erectile dysfunction can take on men, noting how it strikes at the core of masculinity and can lead to increased depression, frustration, and a general sense of brokenness. He stresses that it's not just about what happens in the bedroom—erectile issues can spill over into all aspects of a man's life, including his relationship with his partner.Dr. Nelson outlines a range of treatment options, from well-known medications like Viagra to lesser-known but effective methods like penile injections and implants. He breaks down the fear around these options, especially injections, and highlights how pain levels are often far lower than anticipated. Beyond physical treatments, we discuss the emotional and relational work that's often required. One key issue is avoidance—men avoiding sexual situations due to performance anxiety, which can snowball into long-term distance and silence between partners. Dr. Nelson makes it clear: the real risk isn't failure, it's not trying.We also dive into how couples can redefine intimacy. Many men associate sex solely with penetration, while their partners often value closeness and emotional connection more. Dr. Nelson advocates for expanding the sexual repertoire and restoring non-sexual forms of affection, which can be just as meaningful. We talk about the impact of testosterone—how its depletion can lower libido and cause men to unknowingly withdraw from their partners—and how testosterone replacement may be a viable option for some, depending on cancer type and treatment history.As roles shift from caregiver back to partner post-treatment, Dr. Nelson stresses the importance of open communication. He urges couples to work toward understanding each other's perspectives, not convincing each other. He shares an "aha" moment involving a couple who waited five years before seeking help, only to reconnect within three sessions after simply opening the lines of communication. The takeaway: don't wait.We close by pointing listeners toward additional resources, including certified sex therapists and specialized urologists, and Dr. Nelson highlights two key professional directories: SSTAR and AASECT. We're reminded that even the simplest questions—like whether it's okay to kiss your partner—deserve answers. It's on all of us, both patients and providers, to make room for these conversations.More:Episode with Dr. Flores: https://marrowmasters.simplecast.com/episodes/mens-sexual-health-gvhdEpisode with Dr. El Jawahri: https://marrowmasters.simplecast.com/episodes/dr-el-jawahriSSTAR (Society for Sex Therapy and Research) – https://sstarnet.orgAASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists) – https://www.aasect.orgThanks to our Season 19 sponsors, Incyte and Sanofi.https://incyte.com/https://www.sanofi.com/en00:00 - Introduction to Season 19 and Dr. Christian Nelson  01:16 - Normalizing Conversations on Sexual Dysfunction  04:50 - Emotional Toll of Erectile Dysfunction  07:06 - Treatments: Pills, Injections, and Implants  09:03 - Avoidance and Anxiety in Sexual Relationships  12:17 - Expanding the Definition of Intimacy  16:43 - Role of Testosterone in Sexual Health  20:05 - Shifting from Caregiver to Partner  22:17 - Resources and Where to Get Help  26:29 - A Patient Story: Five Years of Silence  28:07 - Closing Thoughts and Resources   National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Have you ever wondered why trauma seems to "live" in the body? Or why so many women struggle with sexual dysfunction after difficult childbirth experiences that they're told they should just be "grateful" for?Join me as we explore the profound connection between trauma and sexual health with Erika Kelley, an award-winning clinical psychologist who specializes in women's sexual medicine and trauma treatment.Erika Kelley is revolutionizing how we understand and treat the intersection of PTSD and sexual dysfunction. Winner of the prestigious Irwin Goldstein Award at ISSWSH for her groundbreaking research on childbirth-related PTSD, Erika shares insights from her years of experience helping women reclaim their bodies and sexuality after trauma.Together, we discuss the often overlooked reality of "smiling PTSD" the postpartum trauma that women hide behind societal pressure to appear only joyful after childbirth. Erika explains how trauma becomes physically embedded in the body through the fight-flight-freeze response, creating real physiological changes that impact everything from pelvic floor function to sexual desire.She also shares the evidence based psychotherapies that are proven to help, including Prolonged Exposure Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy, and how these treatments can be integrated with pelvic floor physical therapy and sexual medicine approaches for comprehensive care.Erika's commitment to building trust with marginalized communities through community-based participatory research demonstrates how we can address healthcare disparities while advancing trauma care. Her work with Black women and perinatal mental health is paving the way for more inclusive and effective treatment.This episode is essential listening for anyone who has experienced trauma, healthcare providers who work with trauma survivors, and anyone interested in understanding how our bodies truly do "keep the score." By listening, you'll gain crucial knowledge about recognizing trauma symptoms, accessing appropriate treatment, and advocating for yourself or your patients.TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault, traumatic childbirth experiences, medical trauma, PTSD symptoms, and obstetric complications.

In this powerful episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with Rosie Tilley to uncover the dark side of antidepressants—specifically SSRIs—and their devastating long-term side effects. Rosie shares her deeply personal story of life after taking Lexapro, including her battle with Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD), a condition that has upended her health and well-being. Together, they explore the lack of long-term research on SSRIs, the cultural push toward overmedication, and the pharmaceutical industry’s role in keeping patients uninformed. This eye-opening conversation sheds light on the urgent need for awareness, accountability, and advocacy for those suffering from the hidden consequences of antidepressants.

They also question the pharmaceutical industry’s influence in shaping public perception and prescribing practices. The Tudor Dixon Podcast is part of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Podcast Network.

Send us a textA critique of SSRIs and pharma's influence on medicine, including SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction, suicidality, and violence. Long Summary: Dr. David Healy critiques modern medicine, focusing on SSRIs and psychiatric medicine, including: how pharmaceutical companies manipulate clinical trial data, ghostwrite studies, and influence medical practice, often ignoring patient experiences; highlighting issues like post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD), the immediate sensory effects of SSRIs, and their potential to induce suicidal or violent behavior; challenging the reliance on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) over individual patient reports; and more.About the guest: David Healy, MD, PhD, a psychiatrist and pharmacologist, has decades of experience researching the serotonin system and SSRIs, working across Ireland, the UK, Canada, and the US. He is a professor at McMaster University and a vocal critic of pharmaceutical industry practices.Discussion Points:SSRIs cause near-immediate sensory effects, like genital numbing, in most people.Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD) can persist for years or decades after stopping the drug, affecting many long-term users.Healy argues RCTs prioritize averages over individual experiences, often missing serious side effects like suicidality.Pharmaceutical companies ghostwrite studies and manipulate data, with journals like the New England Journal of Medicine publishing misleading articles.Serotonin theory of depression lacks evidence.Industry tactics include dismissing patient reports as anecdotes and using high doses in trials to mask weak efficacy.SSRIs can increase suicide risk, not just during initiation but also when adjusting doses or withdrawing, as seen in cases like the Aurora movie theater shooting.Regulatory bodies like the FDA often fail to investigate adverse effects due to bureaucratic processes and lack of follow-up.Healy emphasizes doctors' failure to prioritize patient observations, driven by industry-influenced standards of care.Related episode:M&M 88: Depression, Serotonin, SSRIs, Psychiatry & Social Media | Joanna Moncrieff*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

What if the pain isn't just physical—and what if fixing the body is only half the battle?Sexual pain is one of the most misunderstood issues in medicine. I invited my friend and colleague Dr. Corey Babb to dive into why so many women still struggle with pain, even after their doctors tell them everything looks “normal.” Corey just released his new book A Practical Guide for Female Sexual Medicine, which aims to help clinicians actually treat sexual dysfunction—not just study it.We unpack the deeper reasons patients experience conditions like vaginismus, vestibulodynia, and hypertonic pelvic floor, including trauma, religious shame, and outdated medical training. Corey and I also explore the groundbreaking Pacik method for treating vaginismus, including why Botox and dilators can truly change lives (and minds).But as we both know, treatment is never just about the body. We talk about the psychological side of healing—including why some patients avoid intimacy even after their pain resolves. Corey shares his insights on retraining the brain, rebuilding trust, and supporting patients beyond the exam room.We also discuss why pelvic pain is so often dismissed, how to empower women to advocate for themselves, and why our field still has so much work to do when it comes to teaching clinicians about sexual health.If you've ever been told to “just relax” or “drink some wine” to fix your pain—you'll want to hear this.Highlights:Why sexual pain can persist even after physical treatmentHow trauma and religious shame impact vaginismusThe Pacik method: Botox and dilator therapy explainedWhy desire and intimacy often lag behind pain reliefThe critical need for better sexual health education in medicineIf this episode helped you feel seen or gave you new insights, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts and share the episode with someone who might need it. Your reviews help more people find this important information and advocate for their health!Dr. Babb's Bio:Dr. Corey Babb is a Tulsa native who has dedicated his life to bringing awareness and acceptance to female sexual health. Through education, activism, and empathy, he helps people feel heard and validated, empowering them to find answers in a complicated medical environment. In addition to being a board-certified gynecologist, he is a Fellow of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health, a Menopause Society Certified Menopause Practitioner and a member in the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disorders.

In this episode, I welcome pelvic health pioneer Ingrid Harm-Ernandes, PT, DPT, author and international speaker, to discuss her four-decade journey in physical therapy and nearly 30 years specializing in pelvic health. Ingrid shares how the field has evolved—from obscurity in the U.S. to structured residency programs—while underscoring the critical need for early education, interdisciplinary teamwork, and advocacy. She reveals the inspiration behind her book A Musculoskeletal Mystery: How to Solve Your Pelvic Floor Symptoms, outlines practical strategies for mentorship and collaboration across healthcare disciplines, and calls listeners to champion pelvic health as a public health priority throughout women's lifespan.Guest BioIngrid Harm-Ernandes, PT, DPTBackground:40 years as a physical therapist; 28+ years in pelvic healthCo-Director & Mentor, Women's Health PT Residency Program, Duke UniversityCourse Development Director, International Women's Health CoursesAuthor of A Musculoskeletal Mystery: How to Solve Your Pelvic Floor SymptomsInternational speaker, educator, and illustratorAreas of Expertise: Pelvic floor rehabilitation, orthopedic integration, interdisciplinary care, women's health through life stagesKey Topics & Timestamps00:00 – 05:00 | Origins of Pelvic Health PT Ingrid recounts the early 1990s landscape—scarce training in the U.S., skepticism from physicians, and her orthopedic foundation that shaped today's best practices.05:00 – 12:00 | Building Residency & Education How Duke launched one of the first pelvic PT residencies, the slow but steady growth of programs, and the power of “book clubs” and clinical mentoring to integrate pelvic health into standard curricula.12:00 – 20:00 | Mentorship Beyond the Discipline Strategies for new grads: start generalist, shadow diverse providers (OB-GYN, urogynecology, cardiopulmonary PT, even acupuncturists and sex therapists) to build confidence and referrals.20:00 – 30:00 | Writing A Musculoskeletal Mystery The pandemic-sparked book project: filling the education gap for patients and practitioners, demystifying pelvic floor anatomy, evaluations, treatments, and including a self-help toolkit.30:00 – 40:00 | The Continuum of Life & Menopause Care Reframing women's health as a lifelong continuum—pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause—and the alarming statistics: 50% of life spent in menopause transition, rising cardiovascular risks, and the need for strength training over cardio.40:00 – 50:00 | Interdisciplinary Teamwork & Advocacy “Teamwork, teamwork, teamwork”: integrating PTs with physicians, nurses, nutritionists, mental health professionals, and corporate stakeholders. How education fuels advocacy—from clinic in-services to writing senators for research funding.Major TakeawaysEducation Is Foundation: Early exposure in PT, medical, and nursing curricula prevents decades of untreated symptoms.Mentorship Matters: Seek out and sustain relationships with both pelvic PT and cross-specialty mentors to refine skills and referrals.Interdisciplinary Care: Pelvic health thrives when PTs collaborate with OB-GYNs, urogynecologists, acupuncturists, PAs, and beyond—breaking silos boosts patient outcomes.Lifelong Lens: Women spend a large portion of life in menopause transition—with implications for bone, cardiovascular, and pelvic health; prevention through strength training and pelvic floor awareness is key.Advocacy Amplifies Impact: Armed with education, practitioners and patients can lobby for research funding, insurance coverage, and workplace policies that support pelvic health.Resources & Guest LinksIngrid Harm-Ernandes on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ingrid-harm-ernandes-5057773b/Book: A Musculoskeletal Mystery: How to Solve Your Pelvic Floor SymptomsDuke University Women's Health PT Residency Program (search DukePT.edu for details)

When a patient talks about their sexual dysfunction, I always ask: what's going on with the person they're having sex with? You'd be surprised how many providers don't.Most people don't think to ask what's happening on both sides of a sexual relationship. But sexual dysfunction doesn't happen in a vacuum—it's a two-way street. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jessica Yih, a urologist who treats both men and women, and we get real about the overlap of issues that show up in the bedroom.We dive into Peyronie's disease and why it's been overlooked for so long, how injections can break down plaques, and why those curves aren't just uncomfortable—they can lead to serious problems for both partners. We also break down erectile dysfunction beyond the “just pop a blue pill” myth. Spoiler: Viagra doesn't work for everyone.Jessica brings a powerful perspective to the conversation, especially around what it's like treating both members of a couple, sometimes in back-to-back appointments. She's also helping train the next generation of sexual health urologists through her fellowship at UC Irvine.Sex is more than individual dysfunction—it's communication, treatment access, aging, and understanding both bodies in the room. If you're a provider, a patient, or just curious about how these dynamics work together, this episode is for you.Highlights:The truth about Peyronie's disease, painful sex, and treatment optionsWhy Viagra isn't a one-size-fits-all fix for erectile dysfunctionHow injectable medications and implants are changing the gameDyadic sexuality and the importance of treating both partnersJessica Yih's unique path to sexual medicine and her work training new fellowsIf this episode got you thinking, please hit that follow button, leave a comment, and give us a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

For many people, it can be difficult to talk about the feelings of loss that can accompany MS. For some, it's the loss of the way they imagined their life would turn out. For others, it's the more specific loss of function. Perhaps the loss of their mobility. Or a decline in their cognitive skills. It's painful to imagine any of these scenarios, let alone experience them in real life.    The human response to loss is grief. And grieving itself can affect your physical, emotional, and cognitive health. Joining me today to discuss how grieving can affect you, along with ways to best manage grief, is Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor. Dr. O'Connor is a professor of psychology at the University of Arizona, where she directs the Grief, Loss, and Social Stress Lab, investigating the effects of grief on the brain and the body. Dr. O'Connor also lives with MS, and the title of her new book is The Grieving Body: How the Stress of Loss Can Be an Opportunity for Healing. We'll also share the results of a study on MS fatigue in Finland. We'll tell you about a study that focused on sexual dysfunction among women living with MS in Iran. You'll learn what a research team discovered when they connected sick days from work with the prodromal phase of MS. And we're sharing a new resource from the MS International Federation that will help you assess which wellness practices and complementary therapies may be beneficial for you.

The spinal cord serves as the main communication highway between the brain and body. Did you know that 80% of people with multiple sclerosis have spinal cord lesions on MRI? These lesions can disrupt specific neural pathways, leading to common MS symptoms like numbness, weakness, impaired coordination, balance issues, bladder problems, constipation, and sexual dysfunction. For instance, damage to the corticospinal tract on one side of the spinal cord can weaken an arm or leg. A remarkable autopsy study revealed that nearly 90% of people with MS still had active inflammation in the spinal cord. This finding brings new hope for potential treatments, even for older and progressive MS patients. Advances in imaging technology, including more powerful MRI scanners (3 Tesla and higher), are enhancing our ability to see inside the spinal cord, which is as thin as a pinky finger. Improved spinal cord imaging is driving the development of new therapies in clinical trials and helping identify those at risk for worsening disability, ultimately guiding better treatment decisions.
