This study is looking at how obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition where you stop breathing for short periods during sleep, might affect people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers believe that the low oxygen levels during sleep caused by OSA could worsen MS by harming brain cells. This study will collect and analyze existing medical information, including MRI scans, lab results, medical history, and sleep study data, from MS patients. The goal is to understand if there's a link between OSA and the severity of MS, as shown by MRI and other clinical measures. They are particularly interested in which types of sleep apnea are common in MS and if they correlate with how severe MS appears.
