    The benefits of establishing the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) early include peace of mind for patients and families when dealing with unexplained symptoms. Also, studies have shown fewer relapses and new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesions in those who started their MS therapy sooner.
