Description
Summary:Recent developments in the management of multiple sclerosis (MS) are ushering in a new era in MS treatment. The novel therapeutic disease-modifying agents that have been recently approved for the treatment of MS are B-cell therapies and various sphingosine-1-phosphate inhibitors. The Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapies provide a novel therapeutic approach in the treatment of MS. Numerous studies have demonstrated a high degree of efficacy with autologous hematopoietic stem cells. There are upcoming trials focusing on remyelination strategies in MS. In this yearly review, we will focus on all these latest developments which are leading to a promising change in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of this disease.
