Abstract

A new therapeutic era opened for multiple sclerosis (MS) with the appearance of molecules given p.o. and/or molecules with greater efficiency. Early diagnosis is critical, as the time and the choice of therapeutic intervention. The initiation of treatments must be personalized, including the risks associated with MS and those potentially related to the treatment chosen, answering the question <Who, when and how to treat?>>. Monitoring tools that allow to objectively evaluate: I) MS activity and aggressiveness for each patient and 2) the safety of treatments and their risks of complications, must be further investigated.
