Riassunto

Allo stato attuale non esiste alcuna terapia in grado di guarire la sclerosi multipla (SM), ma le terapie a nostra disposizione permettono, a seconda della fase della malattia e del suo decorso, di trattare efficacemente l’episodio acuto, ridurre la frequenza delle ricadute e, parzialmente, la disabilità e di migliorare alcuni sintomi. Globalmente, pertanto, siamo in grado di modificare il decorso della malattia.
