Early multiple sclerosis

Major advances in the field of neuroscience have largely contributed to improving our understanding of multiple sclerosis.
In parallel, management of these patients is also better co-ordinated, with care provided in networks or specialised clinics.
This book deliberately focuses on the early stages of the disease since, in our current state of knowledge, this is when the stakes are highest.
There is now real hope that the disease can be overcome, or at least its progression halted, in many patients.
This book describes the various stages of the disease, its known clinical symptoms (first signs, lesions) and current therapeutic strategies and also deals with prognostic factors and medical imaging.
