Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, inflammatory medical condition that results in demyelination, axonal transection, and neurodegeneration. The myelin sheath is damaged because of an abnormal response by the immune system, which targets neurons within the central nervous system (CNS). It is a potentially debilitating disease in which the damage of the myelin sheath causes disruption in the communication and coordination functions of the body.

The symptoms of multiple sclerosis differ widely, subject to the extent of damage and the number of neurons affected. Some of the symptoms observed in a patient with multiple sclerosis are fatigue, numbness, spasticity, bladder dysfunction, cognitive changes, emotional changes, and depression. An individual with the severe course of the disease can experience speech problems and movement problems.

Multiple sclerosis can be broadly classified into four types: relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis, primary-progressive multiple sclerosis, and progressive-relapsing multiple sclerosis.
