Abstract: Multiple sclerosis (MS) currently affects ~2.5 million people worldwide. MS is typically diagnosed in young adults and is usually not fatal, meaning people live long lives with MS. Affected individuals usually suffer from progressive physical and/or cognitive disability, often including fatigue (89.6%), depression (53.9%), memory loss (49.0%), motor or sensory dysfunction (76.4%, 70.4%) and urinary incontinence (50.8%). This disability weighs on patients, loved ones and caretakers, and costs the economy billions of dollars each year.
