Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that affects millions of people worldwide. The diagnosis and management of MS can be challenging, and there is a need for reliable biomarkers to aid in early diagnosis and monitoring disease progression.

Neurological biomarkers for MS include measures of myelin-specific proteins, cytokines, chemokines, and neurofilament light chain levels in blood or cerebrospinal fluid, as well as imaging techniques such as MRI. These biomarkers have shown promise in identifying the severity of MS, predicting outcomes, and monitoring treatment response.

The use of neurological biomarkers in the diagnosis and treatment of MS holds great promise for improving outcomes for MS patients. Future research should focus on the development of more reliable and accurate biomarkers, as well as their integration into clinical practice to improve early diagnosis and treatment of MS.
