Disease-modifying therapy in adult relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a significant cause of disability among young adults, more commonly women, and usually strikes patients in the prime of their lives. Despite recent therapeutic advancements, MS remains an incurable, chronic illness. Clinical evidence supports the role of disease-modifying therapy early in the disease course to reduce the number of acute attacks, delay disease progression, maintain quality of life, and prevent disability.
