system. Additionally, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spinal cord can be performed, which helps determine the presence of foci of inflammation and damage to the myelin sheaths.

Treatment

Treatment for multiple sclerosis is aimed at reducing symptoms, disease progression, and preventing exacerbations. The most effective treatment methods are drug therapy, rehabilitation and physical therapy.

There are several classes of medications used to treat multiple sclerosis. Some of them can reduce the frequency of exacerbations and slow the progression of the disease, others are aimed at reducing symptoms such as muscle weakness and impaired coordination of movements. However, there is no medicine yet that can completely cure multiple sclerosis.

Rehabilitation and physical therapy also play an important role in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Rehabilitation methods may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and psychological support. Physical therapy aims to improve coordination, reduce muscle weakness and reduce pain.

Forecast

The prognosis for multiple sclerosis depends on how quickly the diagnosis is made and treatment is started, as well as on what symptoms the patient exhibits. Some patients can live with the disease for a long time without experiencing significant limitations in daily life, while in others the disease progresses rapidly and becomes disabling.

In general, multiple sclerosis is a serious disease that requires constant medical monitoring and treatment. However, thanks to new treatment and rehabilitation methods, patients with multiple sclerosis can maintain their quality of life and continue to carry out daily activities.
