SUMMARY:Paradigms pre-MENACTRIMS Symposium 2026
DESCRIPTION:Intercontinental Festival City\, Dubai\, United Arab Emirates \n\n\n\nAdvancing Multiple Sclerosis Care Across the Middle East and North Africa\n\n\n\nMENACTRIMS\, the Middle East North Africa Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis\, is a regional scientific organisation dedicated to advancing knowledge\, research\, education and clinical care in multiple sclerosis (MS) and related neuroimmunological disorders across the Middle East and North Africa. \n\n\n\nMENACTRIMS brings together neurologists\, researchers\, healthcare professionals and experts from across the region and internationally\, creating a platform for scientific exchange\, collaboration and education. \n\n\n\nThrough its scientific and educational activities\, MENACTRIMS aims to support healthcare professionals in navigating a rapidly evolving MS landscape and translating advances in research\, diagnosis\, monitoring and treatment into meaningful improvements in clinical practice. \n\n\n\nParadigMS Pre-MENACTRIMS Symposium\n\n\n\nFrom Biomarkers to Better Decisions in Multiple Sclerosis\n\n\n\nHeld in conjunction with MENACTRIMS\, the ParadigMS Pre-MENACTRIMS Symposium is a focused scientific and educational meeting bringing together experts in multiple sclerosis to explore how emerging tools and biomarkers can support more personalised approaches to MS management. \n\n\n\nAs the MS treatment landscape becomes increasingly complex\, clinicians have access to a growing range of information beyond conventional clinical assessment. Advanced imaging\, fluid biomarkers and digital technologies offer new possibilities for detecting disease activity\, evaluating treatment response and identifying patients who may be at greater risk of progression. \n\n\n\nThe symposium will examine how these developments can move from scientific promise towards meaningful application in everyday clinical practice. \n\n\n\nKey Takeaways\n\n\n\n\nHow technological\, imaging and fluid biomarkers may contribute to more personalised MS treatment decisions.\n\n\n\nWhich biomarker signals may help identify subclinical disease activity\, treatment response and progression risk.\n\n\n\nThe role of imaging biomarkers in monitoring inflammatory activity\, neurodegeneration and smouldering disease.\n\n\n\nHow serum neurofilament light chain and other fluid biomarkers may be interpreted in clinical practice.\n\n\n\nHow digital and wearable technologies may complement clinic-based assessment by capturing real-world function over time.\n\n\n\nThe key limitations\, confounding factors and standardisation issues affecting biomarker interpretation.\n\n\n\nHow biomarker information can be integrated with clinical judgement\, MRI findings\, patient characteristics and treatment goals.\n\n\n\nWhich biomarkers are closest to routine clinical implementation and which remain primarily investigational.\n\n\n\nHow biomarker strategies may be adapted to different healthcare systems and levels of resource availability.\n\n\n\n\nWith thanks to our sponsor\, who supports this event without any involvement in the elaboration of the presentations.
