Disseminated Sclerosis
Disseminated sclerosis (also known as multiple sclerosis or MS) is a neurological disorder which affects the central nervous system. It is caused by damage to the myelin sheath which surrounds the nerve cells, leading to disruption of nerve impulses causing symptoms such as muscle weakness, pain, visual disturbances and cognitive problems. MS affects approximately 2.5 million people worldwide and can be a life-changing condition to those affected. Treatments for MS typically focus on managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
