Over the past few decades, the quality of life and life expectancy for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) has improved significantly. MS is a neurological condition that affects nearly 1 million American adults. New medications have slowed the progression of the condition.

relapsing-remitting MS
secondary-progressive MS
primary-progressive MS
