Applying an Ethical Lens to the Treatment of People With Multiple Sclerosis
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The practice of neurology requires an understanding of clinical ethics for decision‐making. In multiple sclerosis (MS) care, there are a wide range of ethical considerations that may arise. These involve shared decision‐making around selection of a disease‐modifying therapy (DMT), risks and benefits of well‐studied medications in comparison to
