Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review of a Neurological Disorder
Abstract: The inflammatory illness known as multiple sclerosis (MS) is brought on by outside influences that affect a biologically vulnerable host. It has 3 separate diagnostic phases: the pre-clinical phase, which can only be discovered by MRI; the relapsing-remitting (RRMS) phase, which again is defined by bouts of neurological malfunction accompanied by remission; and the progressing phase, which often develops from either the relapse phase. Unfortunately, the majority of relapse MS …
