Relapsing-remitting MS

Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) is a form of multiple sclerosis characterized by clear episodes of new or worsening symptoms called relapses, followed by periods of recovery or remission where symptoms improve or disappear. During relapses, the immune system attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers in the central nervous system, disrupting communication between the brain and body. Between these episodes, individuals may experience little to no symptoms. Over time, these relapses can lead to cumulative disability. RRMS is the most common type of MS and often requires ongoing treatment to manage attacks and slow progression.
