What is progressive ms?

Progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) is a form of the disease characterized by a gradual worsening of neurological function over time, without distinct relapses or remissions. It typically manifests as either primary progressive MS (PPMS), where symptoms steadily worsen from the onset, or secondary progressive MS (SPMS), which follows an initial relapsing-remitting course. Patients may experience increased disability, mobility challenges, and other symptoms as the disease progresses. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and slowing disease progression.
