Special Edition: eMultipleSclerosis Review, Issue 1

An MS Prodrome? Really?

Editor's note:

This issue of ePrimaryCare Review is from a sister eLiterature Review series because the content is relevant for primary care providers. By continuing to this activity, you will be redirected to the original eLiterature Review series where you can complete the activity to receive your CME/CEU credits.

In this issue:

Is there an MS “prodrome” — a period before the onset of clinical symptoms? If it exists, what are its characteristics? How can it be identified and measured? What is its predictive value? What does the current evidence show? These are some of the questions Dr. Naila Makhani from the Yale School of Medicine discusses in this issue of eMultipleSclerosis Review. 

 

Learning objectives:

  • Appraise the quality of evidence that support the existence of a multiple sclerosis prodrome. 
  • Discuss new data characterizing radiologically isolated syndrome in children and adults.
