Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease (our defences act against our own body) that affects the central nervous system.
Risk factors. Tends to occurs in people between the ages of 20 and 40 years. Although many patients, when treated well, can lead an active life for many years, this disease is a major cause of disability in young people. It affects about twice as many women as men.
Symptoms. The symptoms of MS vary depending on the function of the part of the central nervous system that is affected. It can leave long-term physical damage and/or become chronic. At the onset of the disease, manifestations are usually mild and may go away without treatment, but over time they may increase in number and become more serious.
Treatment. There are various treatments that have demonstrated effectiveness in greatly reducing the frequency of outbreaks of the disease and the consequences thereof, improving the patient’s quality of life. However, at the moment there is no cure.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease consisting in the appearance of demyelinating lesions in the central nervous system. The causes that produce it are unknown, but we know for a fact that there are different autoimmune mechanisms involved.
While there is no reliable 100% diagnostic test, there are non-invasive criteria that are acceptable for diagnosing the disease with certainty. The internationally accepted criteria are the McDonald Criteria for diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
At the moment, there is no cure, although effective medication exists and looking for the causes is an active fields of research. The exact cause is unknown. You can present a series of symptoms that occur in outbreaks or, less frequently, which progress slowly over time.
After epilepsy, it is the most common neurological disease among young adults (since the nearly complete eradication of polio) and the most common cause of paralysis in Western countries. It affects about 1 in 1,000 people, particularly women. Most cases occur when patients are between 20 and 40 years old.
