Drs. Benjamin Greenberg, Brian G. Weinshenker, and Stacey Clardy join the second episode of ABCs of NMOSD, entitled "Choosing a Long-Term Treatment Option." The podcast begins with an overview of the most common treatments of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and their side effects. The experts discuss the three new treatments that have been recently developed, and they discuss the differences between each treatment. They talk about factors to consider when choosing a treatment option, reasons why a person might switch treatments, and insurance implications. Finally, the experts discuss pediatric considerations for treatment, how to find research studies and trials, and supplementary treatments for NMOSD in addition to medication.  

ABCs of NMOSD podcast series is hosted by the Siegel Rare Neuroimmune Association, in collaboration with The Sumaira Foundation for NMO, The Connor B. Judge Foundation, and The Guthy Jackson Charitable Foundation.  

ABCs of NMOSD is made possible through a patient education grant from Viela Bio.
