Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common potentially disabling disease affecting people. The incidence of MS is increasing day by day around the world, and it also has many social and economic impacts. The underlying causes of MS and the mechanisms behind the development of the disease are so widespread. genetic and environmental interactions are almost certainly contributing to the formation of this disease. MS epidemiology illustrated that low levels of vitamin D, childhood obesity, smoking and infection with Epstein-Barr virus have a very important role in disease progression. Developments in diagnostic criteria and methods aim to increase the early recognition and diagnosis of MS. Hence, given the increasing advances in the medical field, it is now possible to detect MS before symptoms. As a result, potential preventive strategies can be studied. In this review, the MS epidemiology, potential pathogens, pathophysiology, MS types, symptoms, their diagnosis and treatment, and disease management are discussed.
