MS Speaks

I was able to get access to this article but am not sure that the link will work here. I'm going to give it a try. If anyone has a problem with the link, please let me know, and I will try another method.


This article is long and fairly technical but the authors include some of the names most often seen in MS research, and what they are proposing here is abandoning the classification of MS into relapsing-remitting, secondary progressive and primary progressive forms.  However, they acknowledge that this classification might not be abandoned very soon.


From Lancet Neurology (November 18, 2022), an article on behalf of the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in MS--"Multiple sclerosis progression: time for a new mechanism-driven framework":
