Subclinical imaging activity in multiple sclerosis patients during war‐related psychological stress
This study provides evidence of increased MRI-detected disease activity in pwMS during periods of war-related psychological stress. Our findings highlight the importance of considering psychological stress in MS management. Healthcare providers should be aware of the potential for increased disease activity in pwMS during extreme stress and may consider more frequent monitoring, including MRI scans, or treatment adjustments during such periods.
