Relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) is a form of multiple sclerosis characterized by episodes of new or worsening symptoms (relapses) followed by periods of partial or complete recovery (remissions). During relapses, immune system attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers in the central nervous system, disrupting nerve signals. Between episodes, symptoms may improve or disappear entirely. RRMS is the most common type of MS and can vary in severity. Although it involves unpredictable flare-ups, ongoing treatments can help manage attacks and reduce long-term disability.
