Multiple Sclerosis starts out with full medical history and neurological exam. Other conditions with common symptoms are ruled out. Imaging studies, like MRI look for damage created by diseases like MS. There is no single test, it is a combination of symptoms, progression and clinical findings that lead to a diagnosis of MS.

* MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans with intravenous gadolinium helps to identify, describe, and in some instances date lesions in the brain (plaques).

* An electro-physiological test, evoked potentials, examines the impulses traveling through the nerves to determine if the impulses are moving normally or too slowly.

* Finally, examining the cerebro-spinal fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord may identify abnormal chemicals (antibodies) or cells that suggest the presence of multiple sclerosis.
