It frequently occurs in the form of outbreaks, affecting nervous structures of the brain and spinal cord, and may result in neurological deficits with partial or complete recovery.
OTreatment of Multiple Sclerosis has undergone great advances in recent years, with drug strategies for each stage of the disease and increasingly promising results, both in the prevention of outbreaks and in the control of associated symptoms. Multidisciplinary follow-up, with physiotherapy, speech therapy, psychology, occupational therapy is fundamental.
