Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease of the central nervous system, specifically involving the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Multiple sclerosis causes problems with muscle control and strength, vision, balance, sensation, and mental functions.

An insulating coating called myelin surrounds and protects nerve fibers in the central nervous system. When myelin becomes inflamed or is destroyed (called demyelination), the normal flow of nerve impulses is interrupted. MS is diagnosed when there is demyelination, inflammation, and nerve disruption in many places of the central nervous system.

The cause of MS is not known. Although the disease has no cure, medications can reduce the frequency and severity of attacks in many people. Most people live with the disease for decades; however, many people face growing disability as the years go by.
