Causes ;
The most common cause of aphasia is brain damage resulting from a stroke — the
blockage or rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. Loss of blood to the brain leads to

Causes ;
The cause of multiple sclerosis is unknown. It's considered an autoimmune disease
in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. In the case of MS, this
immune system malfunction destroys the fatty substance that coats and protects
nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord (myelin).
Prevention :
Scientists, researchers, and doctors haven’t yet been able to develop a method of
curing or preventing MS. One of the main reasons why is that the cause of MS isn’t
fully understood.
Treatment ;
There is no cure for multiple sclerosis. Treatment typically focuses on speeding
recovery from attacks, slowing the progression of the disease and
managing MS symptoms. Some people have such mild symptoms that no treatment
is necessary.
