Research Notes on Multiple Sclerosis Types
There are four types of multiple sclerosis: relapsing-remitting, primary-progressive, secondary-progressive, and progressive-relapsing. Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis occurs when the disease goes in and out of relapse. Primary-progressive multiple sclerosis occurs when the disease causes a decline in function without remission. Secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis occurs when there are periods of relapsing-remitting followed by primary-progressive. Progressive-relapsing multiple sclerosis occurs when the disease gets progressively worse with episodes of acute attacks.1
Fast Facts:
- Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the immune system causes damage to the protective sheath surrounding the nerves.2
- Symptoms of multiple sclerosis vary depending on the nerves that are damaged.2
- Severe cases of multiple sclerosis may cause a patient to lose their ability to walk or speak.2
