summary: People with MS may develop a certain degree of disability over time. However it is very difficult, after a first episode suggestive of MS, to identify the people who will have a faster accrual of disability. With this work, the authors suggest that carrying out complete neurophysiological tests, which investigate the integrity of the main pathways of the central nervous system, after a first episode of MS may help identify people with a higher risk of developing disability.
