Abstract

We can improve outcomes in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) by better management of comorbidities. A holistic approach should combine lifestyle modifications and the use of low-cost, low-risk treatments for common conditions. Such an approach is most effective when all stakeholders share responsibility.
