A growing number of people suffer from so-called resistant hypertension, that is to say, high blood pressure that does not respond to treatment.

This variant, often in the guise of a chronic progressive myelopathy or, less commonly, progressive cerebellar or bulbar dysfunction, usually responds poorly to corticosteroids and rarely seems to benefit to a significant degree from intensive immunosuppressive treatments.

There is now evidence that irreversible brain damage accumulates very early in the course of multiple sclerosis. These findings provide the rationale for early treatment and emphasize the importance of clinical trials in early multiple sclerosis.
