Multiple Sclerosis (MS) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by chronic inflammation, demyelination, gliosis, and neuronal loss. Lesions in the CNS can manifest at different times and locations, leading to the description of MS lesions as being "disseminated in time and space." The clinical course of MS varies widely, ranging from a stable chronic illness to a rapidly progressing and debilitating condition. Approximately 70 to 80% of MS patients experience an initial onset marked by a relapsing-remitting (RR) course, while 15 to 20% present with primary progressive (PP) MS, characterized by gradual deterioration without relapses. Secondary progressive (SP) MS, affecting a subset of patients after an initial RR course, involves a more gradual neurological decline. Diagnosis of RR MS requires evidence of at least two CNS inflammatory events, with relapses often showing partial or complete recovery over weeks to months, frequently w...
