Methods of Treating Multiple Sclerosis
Treatment of multiple sclerosis is individual and is selected depending on the clinical picture, the stage of the disease, and the activity of the process.
It usually includes:
- corticosteroid therapy during exacerbations;
- immunomodulating drugs;
- cytostatic agents (as indicated);
- symptomatic treatment and rehabilitation;
- ongoing medical supervision by a neurologist.
Among the approaches available at CSM Clinic in Kyiv is stem cell therapy — mainly within specialized programs or as an additional option in complex cases; its effectiveness in multiple sclerosis is still being studied.
It is important to understand that treatment must be continuous and supervised by a doctor, because self-treatment is dangerous and may accelerate the progression of the disease.
Prevention of multiple sclerosis includes giving up smoking and alcohol and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It is not possible to ensure that the disease will not occur, since the nature of its origin has not yet been thoroughly studied. Timely treatment and a professional approach may help avoid significant consequences and reduce the risk of disability. It is therefore worth monitoring your condition and responding to changes as early as possible.
