Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by immune-mediated assaults on the myelin sheath. This autoimmune disorder primarily impacts young individuals and can result in permanent axonal degeneration. The manifestations of MS vary, encompassing relapsing-remitting MS, primary-progressive MS, and secondary-progressive MS. The etiology of the disease stems from an immune system dysfunction, culminating in the obliteration of healthy nervous system cells. Therapeutic approaches for MS are geared towards averting exacerbations and protracted functional deterioration, with diverse FDA-endorsed drugs stratified according to their efficacy in relapse mitigation. The precise origin of MS remains elusive; nonetheless, immunomodulated genetic predisposition and environmental factors are postulated to exert considerable influence on its onset.
