GLOSSARY
TYPES OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS)
Active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (active SPMS)
The early stage of SPMS, in which people experience fewer relapses but don't bounce back as well between relapses, and have increased disability. Active SPMS means a person may have had at least 1 relapse in the last 2 years.
Clinically isolated syndrome (CIS)
When you experience MS-like symptoms caused by inflammation and damage to myelin, but a definite diagnosis of MS cannot yet be made.
Relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS)
A general term used for all forms of MS that have distinct episodes of relapses, including CIS, RRMS, and active SPMS.
Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS)
The most common type of MS, characterized by episodes during which symptoms get worse (relapses) but are then followed by periods of recovery (remissions). About 85% of people with MS are first diagnosed with RRMS.
Secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS)
An advanced stage of MS that follows active SPMS, in which symptoms and disability often get worse with or without relapses.
OTHER TERMS ASSOCIATED WITH MS
Central nervous system (CNS)
The system in your body made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve.
Clinical study
A controlled study environment to document and understand if a drug is effective and evaluate its safety and side effects.
Confirmed disability progression (CDP)
Any change in disability that remains consistent over a certain period of time.
Disability progression
Lingering or worsening of symptoms between relapses and over time, that leads to increased cognitive and physical disability.
Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS)
The EDSS is a method of measuring disability progression and monitoring changes in the level of disability over time. It is widely used in clinical studies and in the assessment of people living with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Inflammation
Part of your body's immune response to help protect from infection. In certain conditions such as MS, your immune system attacks your body's own tissue by mistake, and resulting inflammation causes nerve damage.
Lymph nodes
Lumps of tissue located throughout the body that contain white bloods cells (lymphocytes) and fight infections as part of the body's immune system.
Lymphocytes
A type of white blood cell that plays several roles in the immune system, including protection against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
Macular edema
A build-up of fluid in the eyes that can cause swelling and vision problems.
Myelin
A protective, insulating sheath that coats nerve cells.
Neurodegeneration
Nerve damage in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
Permanent disability
Irreversible cognitive and physical symptoms.
Placebo
A baseline inactive treatment given to one group in clinical trials to help researchers understand the efficacy of a new medical treatment.
Progression
The shift from less inflammation and relapses to increased nerve damage, this can lead to worsening cognitive and physical symptoms that accumulate over time.
Relapse
Also called a “flare-up” or “exacerbation,” an episode in which MS symptoms get worse, or new ones arise, for a period of 1 day to several months, followed by at least 30 days of stability.
Titration
Slowly increasing the dose of your medication to help your body adjust.
T2 lesions
T2 lesions, also called plaques, can be detected on MRI scans to measure disease activity in multiple sclerosis (MS).
