(Abst.) Early treatment delays long-term disability accrual in RRMS
« on: May 09, 2021, 09:37:37 pm »
Experts are saying more and more often that the disease-modifying drugs work best when prescribed soon after the onset of MS. On the other hand, doctors hesitate to diagnose MS because it is such a difficult disease to diagnose, and so many wait until time passes and they will have had a chance to observe the patient over time.  Rushing to prescribe a DMT for someone who has a disorder that isn't MS seems very unwise.


This abstract is from Multiple Sclerosis Journal (April 26, 2021), "Early treatment delays long-term disability accrual in RRMS:  Results from the BMSD Network":
