Approximately 400,000 people in the United States and 2.3 million people worldwide have MS â and thereâs one new U.S. diagnosis of MS every hour, according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS) is complex and challenging, mostly because MS symptoms are unique to each individual, and they can mimic those of a number of other diseases. In addition, there is no single blood test or imaging test for diagnosing MS. Today, neurologists use the McDonald Criteria to diagnose MS. This set of guidelines was revised in 2010 to incorporate MRIs into the diagnosis process, actually allowing MS to be diagnosed earlier in some people.
