Italian researchers find that in 48% of patients with CCSVI and MS, the internal jugular vein is compressed by the C1 and C2 bones of the cervical spine. Misalignment of these bones is 2- 3x more frequent in those with MS vs. controls. "Considering the novelty of this work and the total absence of scientific similar works able to confirm this data, it is necessary to continue these studies in order to improve the clinical management of these patients and to perform therapeutic strategies based on venous decompressive treatments both surgical that manipulatives."
