Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating inflammatory disease of the brain, optic nerves, and spinal cord. Myelin is the protective covering that is on neurons. In multiple sclerosis and demyelinating diseases like MS, that myelin is attacked by the immune system, which leads to clinical flares or relapses that can be associated with many different kinds of symptoms, including trouble with vision, trouble with sensation movements, and coordination.  
As a comprehensive and state-of-the-art program for the evaluation and treatment of multiple sclerosis and neuroimmunology, the University of Maryland Center for Multiple Sclerosis Treatment and Research has the professional expertise and facilities to provide the highest level of care for patients.
