What is Multiple Sclerosis Treatment?
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune condition affecting the central nervous system, where the immune system attacks the protective myelin sheath of nerve fibers. This results in symptoms like fatigue, mobility issues, visual disturbances, and cognitive decline. While MS has no cure, treatment focuses on managing symptoms, reducing relapse frequency, and slowing disease progression.
Treatment options include:
- Disease-Modifying Therapies (DMTs): Medications such as dimethyl fumarate, interferon beta, ocrelizumab, and natalizumab help reduce inflammation and prevent relapses.
- Steroid Therapy: Corticosteroids are used for acute relapses to reduce inflammation.
- Plasma Exchange (Plasmapheresis): For severe cases unresponsive to steroids.
- Stem Cell Therapy & HSCT: Advanced options aiming to “reset” the immune system in aggressive forms of MS.
- Supportive Therapies: Neurorehabilitation, physiotherapy, and immunotherapy for improving quality of life and managing progressive forms.
MS treatments are generally medical rather than surgical and are highly personalized based on disease type, severity, and patient health.
