Neurocognitive Risks in Pediatric MS and the Future of Inclusive Research – Dr. Alice Edwards

Описание: In this final segment, Dr. Alice Edwards sheds light on how pediatric multiple sclerosis (pediatric MS) affects kids differently than adults, especially when it comes to thinking, memory, and learning. She explains why children diagnosed with multiple sclerosis are at risk for neurocognitive outcomes in MS much earlier, and how cognitive deficits in MS can build up over time due to both inflammation and neurodegeneration in MS.

While today’s multiple sclerosis treatment and MS treatment can help control inflammation, they don’t fully stop neurodegeneration or prevent long-term cognitive deficits in multiple sclerosis. Dr. Edwards emphasizes how important it is to push for more inclusive MS research so that MS research and multiple sclerosis research truly reflect the diverse communities affected by this disease.

In this video, you’ll learn:
▶ Why pediatric MS can lead to early cognitive deficits
▶ How neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis affects brain health over time
▶ The limits of current multiple sclerosis treatment for protecting cognition
▶ Why inclusive MS research matters for better care for everyone
▶ What the future of MS research could look like for brain health and quality of life

If you’re interested in understanding the future of multiple sclerosis research and how to protect cognitive health in people living with MS, this discussion is for you.
