(Technical University of Munich (TUM)) Years before they are diagnosed, persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) make significantly more visits to doctors and hospitals than others.

A research team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now published results of a study suggesting that, in many cases, the complaints may relate to unrecognized early clinical MS events.
