ECTRIMS 2025 MS Highlights: First Insights for Patients

ECTRIMS is the world’s largest MS conference, and in 2025 it takes place in Barcelona. Thousands of researchers and clinicians share the newest findings on multiple sclerosis. In this episode, we look at the first highlights from the press releases:

  • Early biomarkers for silent progression (PIRA)

  • How menopause may influence MS and comorbidities

  • The role of ultra-processed foods in relapses and MRI lesions

  • Environmental risk: pediatric ozone exposure

  • Ocrelizumab’s strong relapse control—and its limits against progression

Learn what this research could mean for you, why statistical significance isn’t always clinical significance, and why these insights matter for the future of MS care.
