The immune system primarily targets myelin, the protective covering of nerve fibers, leading to inflammation and damage, and secondary neurodegeneration is a major cause of long-term disability. Common symptoms include vision problems, sensory disturbances, muscle weakness, balance difficulties, and bladder dysfunction. Important advances in treatment have improved outcomes in patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, particularly through highly effective immune-modifying therapies such as CD20-targeting monoclonal antibodies. However, treatment options for progressive forms remain limited, which highlights the need for therapies that can prevent progression and promote myelin repair. Comprehensive symptom management and lifestyle support are also essential to maintaining quality of life and reducing disability. aALERGIA97055 aINMUNOLOGÍA GENERAL953664 aENFERMEDAD AUTOINMUNE953665 aMEDICINA CLINICA GENERAL953666 aENFERMEDAD INFLAMATORIA953667 aESCLEROSIS MULTIPLE914091 aGENETICA91105 aREUMATOLOGÍA97490 aNEUROLOGÍA aNEUROCIRUGÍA 97782 aOFTALMOLOGÍA9323640 022717922634dMassachusetts NEJM GroupoNEJM001tThe New England Journal of Medicine wESSALUDx0028-4793 cARTICULOSe2026-07-31zsqb c22725d22725
