Study Notes
Multiple Sclerosis
- Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS) typically affects individuals between the ages of 20 and 50.
Relapse Remitting MS (RRMS)
- Age range affected: 20-50 years old
- Primary areas affected: brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves
- Characterized by episodes of relapse and remission
- NOT caused by: poor diet
- NOT caused by: lack of exercise
- NOT caused by: vaccination
- NOT caused by: Epstein-Barr virus exposure
Primary Progressive MS (PPMS)
- Characterized by: worsening of symptoms over time
- Common symptom: vision problems
Evoked Potential Test (EPT)
- Measures: speed of nerve signals in response to stimuli
- Purpose: to diagnose and monitor MS
- Uses: electrodes taped to the head, conducting gel
- Normal result: nerve signals are transmitted quickly
- Primary characteristic: uses electrical impulses to measure nerve response
- Type of MRI scan: Functional MRI (fMRI)
Medications and Side Effects
- Medication that changes the immune system's function: immunomodulators
- Medication associated with eye problems and liver damage: Mitoxantrone
Stages of Multiple Sclerosis
- Relapse Remitting MS (RRMS): characterized by episodes of relapse and remission
- Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS): characterized by gradual worsening of symptoms
- Primary Progressive MS (PPMS): characterized by gradual worsening of symptoms from onset
Note: The primary cause of Multiple Sclerosis is unknown.
