Central Nervous System & Demyelination Pathways Visual
Multiple Sclerosis pertains to the central nervous system, consisting of the brain and the spinal cord.
This disease causes the brain and the rest of the body to communicate poorly with each other, which causes innumerable symptoms of varying degrees of neurological impairment.
MS does not affect everyone the same and it is important to note that there is a large amount of variability in the symptoms of MS and the subsequent disease activity and progression of the disease.
Neuraxis' evaluation is centered on the symptoms, history, and findings of the patient's neurology. From this, a choice of courses of action is made.
Symptoms of MS can vary depending on the areas of the nervous system affected.
Possible symptoms include:
There are still many unknowns about how multiple sclerosis (MS) develops.
MS may be due to an inappropriate immune response. Genetic and environmental factors likely play a role in the development of MS.
Risk factors related to MS may be:
Immune System & Genetic Factors Visual
The presence of risk factors for MS does not necessarily mean that MS will develop. Risk factors must be assessed on an individual basis.
Symptoms appear or worsen during an episode. Symptoms or episodes may completely resolve.
Neurological symptoms worsen over time and become more disabling after an initial relapsing-remitting MS course.
Symptoms worsen over time and become more disabling and there are no relapses.
An episode of neurological symptoms that may or may not be caused by demyelination and does not necessarily mean that the person has MS.
The classification and diagnosis of MS requires an assessment by a neurologist.
Currently, no individual test defines every case of MS. Clinical information must be integrated along with relevant examinations.
Understanding the history of previous neurologic events, how long they were, and how the symptoms have changed over time.
Determining strength, sensation, coordination, reflexes, balance and some other functions of the nervous system.
MRIs may be helpful in the examination of the brain and the spinal cord for finding changes due to the diagnosis.
Appropriate investigations within the given clinical context.
Test results and other findings must be integrated within the context of the history, symptoms, and examination.
Treatment options are tailored to the disease, symptoms, disease activity, and the patient's overall health.
Treatment and management options may include:
Some patients are candidates for the use of disease-modifying therapies to control or reduce disease activity and/or lessen the occurrence of subsequent neurological incidents.
After a relapse, an MS relapse is an indication that a prompt evaluation by a physician to determine if a course of treatment is necessary.
Management of symptoms related to muscular problems, pain, fatigue, and other related neurological issues may warrant DMTs.
Patients may be referred to physiotherapy, occupational therapy, or other rehabilitation regimens based on their symptoms.
Frequent monitoring may help in the management of symptoms and disease activity and the overall response to therapy.
A neurological consultation is necessary for the following symptoms:

Long-term MS care has a broader purpose than simply managing MS symptoms.
Comprehensive Long Term MS Care Includes:
Important Note: Do not self-manage your MS. Talk to your Neurologist before making any changes to your MS treatment plan.
Diagnosis and ongoing management allow patients to have the following:
Each outcome depends on the type, activity and symptoms of MS, treatment response and other individual factors.
