Over the past 30 years, there have been significant advances in our
understanding of MS due to the use of MRIs to better visualize the
disease and due to the introduction of new ameliorating drugs. However,
MS is still an incurable disease and diagnosis remains challenging for
many physicians; for instance, symptoms often mimic MS, and there is no
specific test for the disease. To ensure optimal patient care, there is
a need for physicians to remain up to date with new drugs on the market,
disease detection, diagnosis, and latest management options.
The Handbook of Multiple Sclerosis provides a concise, easily
accessible guide for all healthcare professionals involved in the
diagnosis and management of this condition, including standard
therapies, as well as more novel treatments. The book will also include
comprehensive evaluations of the pharmacological treatments available,
including novel investigational agents currently in development.
