Definition
Decreased inflammation, reduce edema, and help to preserve the
integrity of the BBB. Decreases the duration of relapse and helps to
speed recovery byt does not affect long term progression of
disease activity.
Typical course: Oral Methylpredinisone (MP) of atleast 500mg once
daily for 5 days or IV 1g daily for 3 days.

Definition
A term that describes a first clinical episode with features
suggestive of multiple sclerosis. Usually occurs in young adults and
affects optic nerves, brainstem, or the spinal cord. They usually
recover from their presenting episode. It is often the first
manifestation of MS.

Definition
Analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) taken by spinal tap, detects
the levels of certain immune system proteins and the presence of
oligoclonal bands. These bands indicate an immune response within
the CNS, and are found in about 90-95% of people with MS. They
can also be present in other diseases.

early states of the most demyelinating lesions in patients with RRMS
and SPMS. Inflammation in conjunction with blood brain barrier
disruption is what causes this appearance.
Daily subcutaneous injection/autoinjector
Injection site reactions. Less common: a reaction immediately after injection that
include anxiety, chest tightness, SOB, and flushing. Lasts 5-10 minutes and has no
known long-term efffects
Radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) is another early indicator of
demyelination but with no symptoms. RIS is usually detected incidentally in
healthy people who have an MRI that shows typical MS lesions. These
people may remain asymptomatic (have no symptoms), or go on to develop CIS
or MS.
Therefore, RIS may represent the earliest indicator of MS before symptoms
appear.
Early treatemtn can enefically impact the change of a CIS progressing toCDMS.
ADditionaly more recent stuies have demosntated that early treatment can
decrease the rate of disability progression in those patients who develop CDMS.
