Overview
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system characterized by demyelination and neurodegenerative progression. Most patients with MS experience relapses and remission of neurological symptoms, especially early in the disease course. Advances in understanding of the immune mechanisms that contribute to MS have led to the development of many disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) that target effector T cells, regulatory cells, B cells, and cell trafficking into the nervous system.
The Medical Crossfire®, one of PER’s signature educational formats, is a video-based program in which a panel of distinguished experts engage in spirited discussions and debates on a particular clinical topic. In this activity, 3 key thought leaders explore the latest data regarding current and emerging therapeutic strategies for the management of patients with MS. This lively discussion will help place new developments into clinical context to help you optimize care for your patients with MS.
