Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Immunology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Context:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system with unknown pathogenesis.
  • Current treatments for MS focus on immunomodulatory drugs due to suspected autoimmune origins.
  • Patients experience a range of debilitating symptoms impacting quality of life.

Purpose:

  • To outline the primary clinical symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis.
  • To explore the biological effects of low-energy laser therapy in the context of MS treatment.

Summary:

  • The article details the characteristic clinical manifestations of multiple sclerosis.
  • It further investigates the mechanisms and outcomes of using low-energy lasers as a therapeutic modality for MS patients.

Impact:

Multiple Sclerosis l: Introduction

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that affects the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. It is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder and a leading cause of neurological disability in young adults.EpidemiologyMS commonly begins between 20 and 40 years of age and is twice as common in women. Its exact cause remains unclear, but genetic susceptibility contributes, with higher risk in first-degree relatives and identical twins. A greater...
