title: Nursing care for multiple sclerosis.
abstract: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, complex neurologic disease of unknown origin characterized by exacerbations and remissions. This demyelinating disease of the central nervous system primarily affects young adults. Lately, research has provided new and important findings regarding various etiologic possibilities. Knowledge of comprehensive care is necessary not only for acute hospitalizations but also for individualizing daily home activities for MS patients and their families.
