Prompt diagnosis of MS accelerates patient access to care that can prevent future relapses, reduce disease activity and slow progression¹.

To diagnose MS, a series of steps needs to be undertaken: review of clinical symptoms and relapses; imaging of the brain, spinal cord and/or eye; and laboratory tests to identify proteins in the blood and/or spinal fluid¹.

A combination of tests can be used to diagnose multiple sclerosis, including²:

• Medical history evaluation and neurological exams
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• Blood analysis
• Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis
• Evoked potential tests
• Optical coherence tomography
