Treatment Procedures
Disease-Modifying Therapies (DMTs): DMTs are medications designed to modify the immune
system's response and reduce the frequency and severity of MS relapses. These drugs include
injectable, oral, and infusion therapies, each with its own mechanism of action and side effect
profile.
Symptom Management: Symptomatic treatments address specific symptoms of MS, such as
muscle stiffness, fatigue, pain, bladder dysfunction, and cognitive impairment. Medications,
physical therapy, occupational therapy, and assistive devices are commonly used to manage symptoms
and improve daily functioning.
Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation therapies, including physical therapy, occupational
therapy, and speech therapy, play a crucial role in improving mobility, strength, coordination, and
communication skills in individuals with MS. These therapies help maximize independence and quality
of life.
Lifestyle Modifications: Lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, stress
management techniques, healthy diet, adequate rest, and smoking cessation, can complement medical
treatments and promote overall well-being in people with MS.
