“Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common neurological disease characterized by recurrent relapses within the central nervous system (CNS). Several pathophysiological mechanisms such as axonal/neuronal damage, demyelination, inflammation, gliosis, remyelination and repair, oxidative stress and excitotoxicity, alteration of the immune system and disruption of blood-brain barrier are involved in the progression of a disease. Various diagnostic tests and scoring scales are used for the diagnosis of MS in patients, but the findings of these tests and scales could not prove to be completely valid. This study aimed at developing a scoring system to assess the patients suffering from MS.
NFS is a beneficial scoring system that can be used worldwide to assess the patients with MS. No other system provides a valid numeric value regarding the condition of a patient at a given time.”
