Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic degenerative disease affectingnearly 1 million people in the U.S. It occurs when the immune systemattacks and damages the central nervous system, leaving behind scar tissue in the form of lesions. This is where MS gets its name: ...
The primary medications used to treat multiple sclerosis are known as disease-modifyingdrugs(DMDs). DMDs modulate or suppress the immune system in different ways to alter the course of the disease and prevent or reduce relapses. Disease-modifying drugs include both lab-manufactured biological protein...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, dennyelinating disease of the central nervous system with an autoimmune attack on the components of the myelin sheath and axons. The etiology of the disease remains largely unknown, but it is commonly acknowledged that the development of MS probably ...
Multiple sclerosis(MS) is anautoimmuneinflammatory disease of thecentral nervous systemthat leads to the degeneration of nerves in the brain andspinal cord. The immune or infection-fighting system in MS patients attacks the body's own cells, causing progressive damage in the brain and spinalcord....
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system with an autoimmune attack on the components of the myelin sheath and axons. The etiology of the disease remains largely unknown, but it is commonly acknowledged that the development of MS probably results...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that causes demyelination, or disruption of the substance that coats and protects nerve cells, in the spinal nerve and brain cells. The specific symptoms and severity of the disease are related to the exact areas of the nervous system that are affected and...
There are some primary causes of dementia, which include: Neurodegenerative Diseases Alzheirmer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s, as well as some types of multiple sclerosis, are examples of neurodegenerative diseases. They typically worsen over time and need to be tended to as soon as possibl...
A chronic autoimmune disorder, Multiple sclerosis (MS) targets the central nervous system, resulting in many symptoms and unpredictable disease progression. This complex neurological disorder turns the body into a battleground, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fib...
(Medical Xpress) -- Pregnancy appears to have a positive effect on long-term disability in women with two types of multiple sclerosis, indicating that reproductive hormones may play a protective role in MS progression, neurology researchers at the Univer
