About the webinar
The McDonald Diagnostic Criteria for Multiple Sclerosis were reviewed by the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in MS– a global group of leaders in clinical trials and clinical research in MS that is sponsored by the European Committee for Treatments and Research in MS (ECTRIMS) and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) USA.
This webinar will focus on key improvements and refinements made to the criteria as well as an overview of the consensus methodology followed. Topics to be covered include the addition of the optic nerve as a fifth topography, updated dissemination in space criteria, defining radiologically isolated syndrome as MS in specific situations, confirming an MS diagnosis in those over age 50 and in those with comorbidities, and other recommendations around paraclinical tools for diagnosis.
