Abstract
Relapses are experienced by 85–90% of people at and following onset of multiple sclerosis, as a feature of their disease (Lublin and Reingold, 1996). There is a great deal of uncertainty and variation with regards to presentation, duration and frequency of recurrence of relapses which varies for each individual. Guidance from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (2003) recommend treating a relapse with high doses of methylprednisolone over a 3-5-day period. The evidence underpinning these recommendations as well as some of the theory and practice behind this will be reviewed in this article.
