Sommario/riassunto

This book provides the basic groundwork you need to treat these patients. It is designed for all physicians who manage the disease outside a comprehensive MS care center, emphasizing those therapies that can be used successfully by the non-MS specialist, and indicating when referral is appropriate. Most importantly, it gives you the tools to improve the quality of life for your patients, allowing them to maximize their capabilities and take advantage of all available resources.
