Multiple sclerosis is a common disease of the central nervous system affecting approximately 1 million young adults, mostly women, worldwide.1 It is characterized by episodic neurologic symptoms that are often followed by fixed neurologic deficits, increasing disability, and medical, socioeconomic, and physical decline over a period of 30 to 40 years. For most of the 20th century, multiple sclerosis was considered untreatable. In 1982, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society of the United States sponsored the first international workshop on therapeutic trials.2 This workshop served to usher in an era of activism and optimism . . .
