Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a leading cause of disability in young adults, carrying a considerable individual and societal economic burden. The development of disease-modifying therapies and updates to diagnostic criteria are leading us into a new era for MS management, both in the earliest disease phases and progressive MS. In this completely revised/fully updated edition of Fast Facts: Multiple Sclerosis, we present the most recent evidence on disease pathogenesis and all clinical aspects of the condition, as well as the latest on disease-modifying therapies and other potential treatments. Given the need for multidisciplinary management of MS, we have written this resource for the benefit of all health professionals involved in MS care. Table of Contents: •Epidemiology and genetics •Pathology •The clinical picture •Treatment of relapses and symptoms •Disease-modifying treatment •Emerging therapies •Special MS populations •Lifestyle considerations and the multidisciplinary team •Advanced MS
