There is no remedy for different sclerosis (MS) at present, but it’s effective to treat the symptoms with medications and other solutions.

Treatment for MS may include medicine, input from therapists, and self-management methods. It can control the symptoms, decrease acute relapses, and slow the advance of the disease. However, the most common treatment is Disease-Modifying Medicines (DMT) and Disease-Modifying Drugs (DMG) that designed to specifically slow the disease progression. 

In case of a relapsing form of MS, you have got the opportunity to select a disease-modifying drug (DMD) to decrease the event of relapses. In any case, individuals with all sorts of MS can get treatment for the symptoms that they experience. 

Comprehensive care approach

There are complications of MS that include not just the symptoms, but also the adaptation to coping with a chronic disease that can lead to impairment, changes in lifestyle and considerable quality of life changes. Patients with relapsing types of MS must adopt medication regimens with the implementation of disease-modifying therapy, track their condition, respond to changes and periodically make choices about whether they continue to seek help or are able to cope with their problem on their own. It takes a high level of experience, expertise and trust to act as a self-care manager. Support by a team of different healthcare professionals, which includes a neurologist, a physiotherapist, a speech and language therapist, and a number of other professionals make the treatments effective. 

A comprehensive care approach addresses the diverse and nuanced demands of patients and their families’ medical, social, occupational, emotional, and educational needs, and is delivered either in one facility or within a comprehensive care system by a team of experts. The multidisciplinary team facilitates the integration of programs and care consistency and prevents program overlap and fragmentation. The prescribed treatment trends in MS suit an active rather than a passive function, as patients need to learn to adjust to changing circumstances and take responsibility for the skills required for new and evolving pharmaceutical MS management. Comprehensive treatment promotes a motivational paradigm in which the patient plays a significant role and serves as part of the team in organizing healthcare and self-care practices. They will benefit from therapy, awareness, symptomatic treatment and prevention of their disease complications.

The basis for effective MS management lies in the cornerstone of a positive partnership with the health care team of the patient. To build faith and confidence on the part of the patient and family, coordination with the neurologist is essential. It is significant that there is an understanding of MS itself and the justification for all treatments prescribed. As a significant factor for ensuring adherence, nursing assistance during the beginning and progression of disease-modifying therapies has also emerged. It is mainly the patient who needs training and education, but in this process, care providers such as family members must also be included. Before beginning therapy, most patients have access to preparation materials, but it is clear that individual sessions better achieve the aim of effective patient and family education.
