Multiple Sclerosis in Focus: Expert Approaches to Detecting Disease Progression, Treatment Selection, and Patient-Centered Care

Recent understanding of multiple sclerosis (MS) has increasingly emphasized the impact of silent progression on disability accumulation and long-term outcomes. Detecting and monitoring patients for subtle changes, particularly those related to progression independent of relapse activity (PIRA), is clinically challenging. However, recent advancements in evidence-based tools and assessments offer frameworks for clinicians to identify and manage patients at risk for silent disease progression. Additionally, growing evidence on disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) within progressive disease is positioned to support tailored treatment strategies, and incorporating shared decision-making (SDM) into treatment discussions ensures comprehensive care aimed at improving patients' quality of life. In this 1-hour live, national webinar, MS experts will discuss addressing disease progression, including: Real-world insights into identifying and navigating MS progression to slow disability accrual, Exploration of the latest clinical evidence for treatment options in progressive MS Strategies for approaching disease progression discussions and personalizing MS care Attendees will also have access to a downloadable pocket guide that highlights key items, including practical approaches to detecting silent progression and counseling patients on disease progression through SDM.
