Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). It is a leading cause of disability in young adults. For some, MS is a disease with one or two acute neurologic episodes and no further evidence of disease activity.

In others, it is a chronic, relapsing, or progressive disease with an unpredictable clinical course that may span 10 to 20 years, during which time neurologic disability accumulates.

There are four subtypes of MS, with three of the variants actually being progressive forms. And today as we launch our talk series on Multiple Sclerosis we will be discussing Treatments for Progressive Multiple Sclerosis with our featured expert Dr.
