Comment on Researcher's labour of love leads to MS breakthrough parent

Comments

Is it indeed a "small" group? Here the sample size was 65. Isn't a sample size > 30 usually enough for most studies?

That aside, given the dramatic results, wouldn't this demand immediate further investigation? Certainly first to determine how common these blockages are in MS patient?

Should blockages prove commonplace in MS patients then, since the surgical procedure's risks are known and the alternative outcome is very poor, shouldn't surgery be considered immediately in many, if not most, cases?
