This Multiple Sclerosis Society campaign is thought-provoking to say the least. As [MS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burgers-to-beat-ms-campaign) has inconsistent symptoms, the [campaign aims to educate viewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pick-up-your-poop) on the unpredictability of this mysterious disease.

The images used in this Multiple Sclerosis Society campaign are powerful, leaving an indelible impression on the mind. With images like an [uncontrollable doll bladder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwelcome-home) and the snapped leg of a mannequin, the campaign offers some advice while trying to be reassuring.

**Implications** - It's definitely an effective way to teach people about the disease, and may encourage them to learn more about it and help find a cause. These images may be haunting, but they are definitely successful in their purpose.
