Definition

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease, where the insulating covers, of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, are damaged.{{cite web|title=NINDS Multiple Sclerosis Information Page|url=http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/multiple_sclerosis/multiple_sclerosis.htm|website=National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke|access-date=6 March 2016|date=19 November 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160213025406/http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/multiple_sclerosis/multiple_sclerosis.htm|archive-date=13 February 2016}}

Symptoms

This damage disrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to communicate, resulting in a range of signs and symptoms, including physical, mental, and sometimes psychiatric problems.{{cite journal | vauthors = Compston A, Coles A |author1-link=Alastair Compston | title = Multiple sclerosis | journal = Lancet | volume = 372 | issue = 9648 | pages = 1502–17 | date = October 2008 | pmid = 18970977 | doi = 10.1016/S0140-6736(08)61620-7 }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Compston A, Coles A | title = Multiple sclerosis | journal = Lancet | volume = 359 | issue = 9313 | pages = 1221–31 | date = April 2002 | pmid = 11955556 | doi = 10.1016/S0140-6736(02)08220-X }}{{cite book|title=Bradley's neurology in clinical practice.|year=2012|publisher=Elsevier/Saunders|location=Philadelphia, PA|isbn=1-4377-0434-4|edition=6th|vauthors=Murray ED, Buttner EA, Price BH |veditors=Daroff R, Fenichel G, Jankovic J, Mazziotta J |chapter=Depression and Psychosis in Neurological Practice}}

=Types of MS=

New symptoms for MS can occur in different forms, as isolated attacks (called relapsing forms), or building up over time (called progressive forms).{{cite journal | vauthors = Lublin FD, Reingold SC | author1-link=Fred D.

=Remission=

Between attacks, symptoms may disappear completely; however, permanent neurological problems often remain, especially as the disease advances.

Cause

While the cause is not clear, the underlying mechanism is thought to be either destruction by the immune system, or failure of the myelin-producing cells.{{cite journal | vauthors = Nakahara J, Maeda M, Aiso S, Suzuki N | title = Current concepts in multiple sclerosis: autoimmunity versus oligodendrogliopathy | journal = Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology | volume = 42 | issue = 1 | pages = 26–34 | date = February 2012 | pmid = 22189514 | doi = 10.1007/s12016-011-8287-6 }}

=Genetics and environment=

What initiates the process is uncertain, but it may include genetics, and environmental triggers, such as a viral infection.{{cite journal | vauthors = Ascherio A, Munger KL | title = Environmental risk factors for multiple sclerosis.

Diagnosis

MS is usually diagnosed based on the presenting signs and symptoms, and the results of supporting medical tests.{{cite journal | vauthors = Tsang BK, Macdonell R | title = Multiple sclerosis- diagnosis, management and prognosis | journal = Australian Family Physician | volume = 40 | issue = 12 | pages = 948–55 | date = December 2011 | pmid = 22146321 }} The most commonly used diagnostic tools are neuroimaging, analysis of cerebrospinal fluid, and evoked potentials. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and spine, may show areas of demyelination, as lesions or plaques.{{cite journal | vauthors = McDonald WI, Compston A, Edan G, Goodkin D, Hartung HP, Lublin FD, McFarland HF, Paty DW, Polman CH, Reingold SC, Sandberg-Wollheim M, Sibley W, Thompson A, van den Noort S, Weinshenker BY, Wolinsky JS | author1-link=W.

Treatment

There is no known cure for multiple sclerosis. Treatments attempt to improve function after an attack, and prevent new attacks, although medications used to treat MS, while modestly effective, have side effects and may be poorly tolerated.

=Physical therapy=

Physical therapy can help with people's ability to function. Many people pursue alternative treatments, despite a lack of evidence of benefit.{{cite journal | vauthors = Huntley A | title = A review of the evidence for efficacy of complementary and alternative medicines in MS | journal = International MS Journal | volume = 13 | issue = 1 | pages = 5–12, 4 | date = January 2006 | pmid = 16420779 | doi = }}

Outcome

The long-term outcome is difficult to predict, but people with MS live, on average, 5 to 10 years less than those unaffected. Good outcomes are more often seen in women, those who develop the disease early in life, those with a relapsing course, and those who initially experienced few attacks.{{cite journal | vauthors = Weinshenker BG | title = Natural history of multiple sclerosis | journal = Annals of Neurology | volume = 36 Suppl | issue = Suppl | pages = S6-11 | year = 1994 | pmid = 8017890 | doi = 10.1002/ana.410360704 }}

History

MS was first described in 1868 by Jean-Martin Charcot. The name multiple sclerosis refers to the numerous scars (better known as plaques, or lesions) that develop on the white matter of the brain, and spinal cord.{{cite journal | vauthors = Clanet M | title = Jean-Martin Charcot. 1825 to 1893 | journal = International MS Journal | volume = 15 | issue = 2 | pages = 59–61 | date = June 2008 | pmid = 18782501 | url = http://www.msforum.net/Site/ViewPDF/ViewPDF.aspx?ArticleID=E80DC748-5048-4BD2-9393-18BCAE0A1514&doctype=Article | format = PDF }}
