Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by lesions in the central nervous system, including the spinal cord. Spinal lesions may indicate MS. Learn more.

An MS lesion is an area in your brain or spinal cord where your immune system damages the protective myelin sheath around your nerves and causes inflammation. They’re also referred to as MS plaques.

THE intradural ligation of feeding arteries as the primary method of treatment for spinal-cord arteriovenous malformations has been shown to be safe, simple and effective therapy for these lesions ...

A team of researchers at Rowan University has developed an injectable biomaterial that could significantly improve recovery ...

New advanced imaging technology that detects specific molecules in the brain may find signs of MS lesions months earlier, a ...

Applying red-light therapy to a damaged spinal cord protects and regenerates nerve cells, leading to a return of motor and sensory function, according to new research. The treatment could expand ...
