The Johns Hopkins Multiple Sclerosis Center

If you or someone you love is fighting MS, you know that the disease affects individuals in different ways. Symptoms vary widely. So does the time between episodes, the rate of progression and response to treatment. Advances in medications have improved the course of this disease for many, but identifying the right treatment for the right patient at the right time still remains a challenge.

Experts at the Johns Hopkins Multiple Sclerosis Center are dedicated to providing targeted diagnosis and treatments. We know every person with MS is unique, and believe every course of treatment should be designed to work effectively for your distinctive needs, lifestyle and medical history.

Non-invasive imaging technology helps identify your risk for potential loss of function.

A simple imaging test of your retina – the light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye – enables Johns Hopkins physicians to identify the likelihood of rapid disease progression, and may also help determine your best course of treatment. This test, fine-tuned and validated here at Johns Hopkins, is a pioneering method for making these assessments.

Come for personalized care, and advance the fight against the disease with every visit.

Along with innovative diagnostic tests that help our team precisely identify your type of MS, you will receive extensive imaging, lifestyle assessments and reviews of your medical history.

Years of studying retinal scans, brain MRIs and clinical characteristics from those with MS have allowed us to develop a system of individualized assessment and monitoring. Ongoing genetic and blood tests may help to predict who is at risk for future disability. By seeking your care here and partnering with us, the knowledge gained from your case helps provide even better treatment for those who come after you.

As leaders in both patient care and biomedical discovery, we provide the highest level of research-based, personalized care at Johns Hopkins Medicine.
