The possible effects of the solar and geomagnetic activity on multiple sclerosis

Highlights • MS patient admittance rates were correlated with the solar and geophysical data. • Increase in the admittance rates 7–8 months after intense geomagnetic activity. • More prolonged increase in the admittances with prolonged helio-geomagnetic events. • Instant rise in the admittances the...
