Overview

Multiple sclerosis may be classified into four groups according to the clinical course of the disease. This includes relapsing-remitting, secondary-progressive, primary-progressive, and progressive-relapsing.

Classification

Subtypes Explanation
Relapsing remitting
Secondary progressive
  • Patient with long term RRMS can switch to secondary relapsing multiple sclerosis (SPMS) when the neurological symptoms progressively worsen between the attacks
Primary progressive
Progressive relapsing
  • Progressive relapsing multiple sclerosis (PRMS) is defined by progression of disease from the beginning with acute attack episodes
