Topics covered on
Neuro-Compass.education include:

Risk Factors for MS Environmental and genetic risk factors for multiple sclerosis.

Pathophysiology of MS Pathology, pathogenesis and immunopathology of multiple sclerosis.

Diagnosis of MS Multiple sclerosis subtypes and their prognosis (relapsing-remitting, secondary progressive, primary progressive and clinically isolated syndrome, as well as paediatric multiple sclerosis and radiologically isolated syndrome); the Lublin classification scheme; McDonald diagnostic criteria; and differential diagnosis.

Measures of Disease Activity Evaluating relapses, disability progression, cognition, physical function, fatigue and other symptoms of multiple sclerosis; expert commentaries on patient assessment tools for measuring disease activity and other symptoms, such as the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Brief International Cognitive Assessment for MS (BICAMS), and MS Quality of Life Index (MSQoLI).

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Important considerations before treatment initiation and switching between disease-modifying therapies: summaries of the efficacy (annualised relapse rates; disability progression; magnetic resonance imaging) and safety profiles from key trials; pre-treatment monitoring requirements, symptomatic treatments for other multiple sclerosis symptoms such as cognition, and treatment recommendations based on published treatment algorithms.

During treatment

How to monitor the efficacy of disease-modifying therapy; safety monitoring requirements, and how to manage
side effects.

Stopping treatment

Safety monitoring requirements after stopping a disease-modifying therapy.
