title: Developments in MS over the Past 17 Years the MS Forum and The International MS Journal.
abstract: When The International MS Journal (IMSJ) first appeared in 1994 multiple sclerosis (MS) was an under-recognized disease of little interest therapeutically. Its frequency was not great enough to interest the major pharmaceutical companies, its cause was unknown and evidence of any major therapeutic effect was lacking.
