General picture of MS progression (Courtesy of Karolinska Institute). In the preclinical phase disease activity is detected by MRI. CIS (clinically isolated syndrome) is the first symptom, RRMS (relapsing-remitting MS) is characterized by relapses with or without complete recovery. SPMS (secondary-progressive MS) is defined by continuous progression of disability.
