Prof Jelinek Addresses MS New Zealand about Bias and Conflict of Interest in Medical Research

18th September 2010

Professor Jelinek was invited to present the Keynote Address to the Focus on MS Conference run by the MS Society of New Zealand on Saturday 18th September 2010. He chose to discuss the value of medical evidence, what weight researchers put on various trials, and how bias and conflict of interest can influence the results of these studies. The talk particularly focuses on drug-company sponsored research, and the often hidden or unreported flaws in clinical trials that raise questions about the real efficacy of some of the currently used disease-modifying medications. This is an important talk for those of us wishing to get a really balanced perspective on the treatment options for MS, rather than blindly following a drug-only approach.
