Introduction
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune neurological disease in which the immune system attacks the protective myelin covering of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord.
This process disrupts nerve signal transmission and can lead to a wide range of physical, sensory, and cognitive symptoms.
MS is a complex condition with variable presentation and progression, requiring early diagnosis, accurate classification, and long-term, individualized management.
Modern neurology offers disease-modifying therapies that can slow progression, reduce relapses, and improve quality of life.
