Overview
Epidemiological studies and the availability of new technologies for diagnosing and treating multiple sclerosis (MS) have dramatically changed the management of the disease all over the world and in the Middle East. Therefore, there is an increasing need for continuous education about all aspects of MS management, from diagnosis to treatment. This workshop will update and share knowledge about these critical topics of multiple sclerosis, focusing on disease staging and on the risk/benefit profile of lifelong treatments.
Learning objectives
• Illustrate MS diagnostic criteria and the key elements of differential diagnosis
• Explain treatment algorithms according to individual prognosis
• Describe risk/benefit profile of maintenance treatment and PIRT
• Illustrate how to manage cognitive impairment in the clinical setting
