Book excerpt: This book comprehensively reviews the current state of clinical trial methods in multiple sclerosis treatment, providing investigators, sponsors and specialists with current knowledge of outcome measures and study designs for disease and symptom management. The status of the rapidly evolving field of disease-modifying drugs is presented, with emphasis on the most promising therapies currently being tested. Experts discuss disease and symptom management for MS subtypes, including neuromyelitis optica and pediatric MS. In addition, key scientific advances in MS pathology, genetics, immunology and epidemiology are presented. The fourth edition has been extensively revised, featuring more than 50% new material. All chapters have been substantially updated to provide current information on rapidly evolving topics and this volume contains 15 new chapters, reflecting the growth of the field in recent years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised textbook examines the most important aspects of multiple sclerosis that impact on clinical trial design, on the development of new disease therapies, and, most importantly, on patient care. An international team of contributors discusses the clinical course of multiple sclerosis, its clinical heterogeneity, and the presence of subclinical disease activity which occurs during the early stages of the disease. There have been substantial advances in the field since the first edition was published in 1999. There are new chapters on functional imaging, the issues involved in long-term follow-up studies, cyclophosphamide, sex hormones and pregnancy-related factors, complementary and alternative treatments, management of cognitive impairment, treatment of pain, and rehabilitative approaches. Chapters on MS pathogenesis, imaging, the interferons, glatiramer acetate, mitoxantrone, IVIg, plasma exchange, stem cell transplantation, combination therapies, and newly-emerging treatments have been updated. This book is essential for any clinician who works with MS patients.

Book excerpt: Revised and updated second edition of Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders: Clinical Guide to Diagnosis, Medical Management, and Rehabilitation, the only comprehensive but practical source of core information on multiple sclerosis and other demyelinating disorders. Intended as a ready reference for clinicians who provide ongoing care to MS patients, this book combines evidence-based science with experience-based guidance to present current standards and management protocols from leading MS centers. Beginning with the scientific underpinnings of MS for clinicians, the book proceeds through diagnosis, including initial symptoms, diagnostic criteria and classification, imaging, and differential diagnosis, and onto approved treatments for the various MS types and emerging therapies. Later parts of the book discuss symptom management and rehabilitation with chapters focusing on specific side effects, along with considerations for special populations, comorbidities, societal and family issues, and related autoimmune disorders that are often mistaken for MS. Throughout, chapters include lists of Key Points both for clinicians and for patients and families, and management pearls are boxed for quick reference and clinical utility. Illustrations, tables, algorithms, assessment scales, and up-to-date MRI imaging enrich the text, making this a wide-ranging clinical reference for all members of the MS care team. New to the Second Edition: Includes summary recommendations from new AAN practice guidelines for use of DMTs All chapters updated to reflect the latest literature and diagnostic criteria Five entirely new chapters added to expand coverage of treatment, rehabilitation and symptom management, and special issues related to MS Treatment section has been completely revised to better capture current approaches to disease modifying therapies, with separate chapters devoted to injection and oral therapies, infusion therapies, and treatments for progressive forms of MS Related autoimmune diseases section significantly expanded to include transverse myelitis, autoimmune encephalitis, and neurosarcoidosis
