Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis [MS] is a chronic‚ autoimmune‚ inflammatory‚ neurodegenerative condition of the central nervous system [CNS] (Boppanna‚ Huang‚ Ito & Dhib-Jalbut‚ 2011) characterized by demyelination and axonal loss (Chastain‚ Duncan‚ Rodgers & Miller‚ 2011). MS expresses itself in 4 forms: relapsing remitting MS [RRMS]‚ secondary progressive MS [SPMS]‚ primary progressive MS [PPMS]‚ and progressive relapsing MS [PRMS] (Boppanna‚ Huang‚ Ito & Dhib-Jalbut‚ 2011).
