Multiple sclerosis, often called MS, is a disease that affects the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). Myelin provides insulation for nerve cells improves the conduction of impulses along the nerves and is important for maintaining the health of the nerves. In multiple sclerosis, inflammation causes the myelin to disappear. Genetic factors, environmental issues and viral infection may also play a role in developing the disease. Ms is characterized by life threatening symptoms

The application of Fuzzy Cluster Means (FCM or Fuzzy C-Mean) analysis to the diagnosis of different forms of multiple sclerosis is the focal point of this paper. Application of cluster analysis involves a sequence of methodological and analytical decision steps that enhances the quality and meaning of the clusters produced. Uncertainties associated with analysis of multiple sclerosis test data are eliminated by the system
