ultiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common disabling
neurological disease in young adults (reviewed in
Friese and colleagues,

). Disability often becomes
apparent as a result of repeated attacks, followed by par-
tial or complete remission of neurological symptoms
(relapsing-remitting MS [RRMS]), which in turn is fol-
lowed by a phase of gradually worsening clinical symp-
toms (secondary progressive MS [SPMS]). Moreover,
some MS patients show a steady neurological decline even
in the absence of acute attacks (primary progressive MS
[PPMS]).
