Summary

Primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) affects approximately 10 percent of the MS population. It is characterized by a steady decline in function without relapses, and the medications that have changed the lives of many people with the relapsing forms of MS are largely ineffective in people with PPMS.
