However, there have been significant recent advances in understanding progressive disease and this book draws the field together into a single, accessible, clinically focused text. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eProgressive Multiple Sclerosis\u003c\/i\u003e sets out the basic science, pathology, epidemiology and treatment possibilities in progressive multiple sclerosis. The biological processes underlying disease progression are elucidated as are specific pathophysiological mechanisms. The basic science of axonal degeneration and the clinical understanding of progressive multiple sclerosis are discussed in the context of emerging and future therapies for disease progression as are trials which might be conducted for progressive multiple sclerosis. An overview of biomarkers for the disease is included and existing symptomatic therapies for progressive multiple sclerosis are covered in detail. Each chapter addresses specific aspects of progressive multiple sclerosis providing an extensive review of the current literature and a discussion of the likely mechanisms of tissue injury relevant to the disease. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eProgressive Multiple Sclerosis\u003c\/i\u003e is ideal for both general neurologists and those with a specialist interest in multiple sclerosis.
