Expanding our understanding of CNS-compartmentalised inflammation in MS
Professor Jorge Correale explains key concepts in the pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis (MS), including:
Potential biomarker measures to assess central inflammation in MS
Measures of cognitive function in clinical practice
CNS-compartmentalised inflammation is an unmet need in MS
Professor Jorge Correale discusses the use of potential biomarker measures, such as serum neurofilament (sNfL), paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs), and brain atrophy, to assess central inflammation. Professor Correale further discusses different measures of cognitive function with emphasis on the impact of cognitive decline on patient quality of life and its measurement in clinical practice.
