The treatment of acute relapses and the initiation, change or withdrawal of so called disease-modifying treatments are key decisions in MS management. We developed two decisi...

However, a standardized objective definition of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis has been lacking. The aim of this work was to evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of an objective definition for secondary progressive multiple sclerosis,...
