Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Treatment in India
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system attacks the protective covering of nerves (myelin sheath) in the brain and spinal cord. This leads to disrupted communication between the brain and the rest of the body, resulting in symptoms that can range from mild to disabling.
Although there is no permanent cure for MS yet, early diagnosis and advanced therapies can slow disease progression, manage relapses, and improve quality of life.
Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis
Symptoms vary from person to person, depending on the area of the nervous system affected:
Vision problems (blurred or double vision)
Muscle weakness or stiffness
Difficulty walking or loss of balance
Numbness or tingling in limbs
Fatigue
Cognitive changes (memory, focus issues)
Bladder and bowel dysfunction
Speech and swallowing difficulties

Types of Multiple Sclerosis
Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS): Most common; symptoms flare up and then improve.
Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS): Gradual worsening after initial relapses.
Primary Progressive MS (PPMS): Steady progression from onset without relapses.
Progressive-Relapsing MS (PRMS): Rare; progression with occasional relapses.
Diagnosis of MS
MRI Scan: Detects lesions in the brain and spinal cord.
Lumbar Puncture (Spinal Tap): Checks cerebrospinal fluid for immune markers.
Evoked Potentials Test: Measures electrical activity in response to stimuli.
Neurological Exam: Assesses reflexes, coordination, and nerve function.
Treatment Options for Multiple Sclerosis in India
1. Disease-Modifying Therapies (DMTs)
These reduce relapses and slow progression:
Injectables: Interferon beta, Glatiramer acetate
Oral medications: Fingolimod, Dimethyl fumarate, Teriflunomide, Cladribine
Infusions: Natalizumab, Ocrelizumab, Alemtuzumab
2. Steroid Therapy
Intravenous corticosteroids (Methylprednisolone) for acute relapses.
3. Plasma Exchange (Plasmapheresis)
Used when severe relapses don’t respond to steroids.
4. Symptom Management
Muscle relaxants for spasticity
Medications for fatigue, bladder, or bowel issues
Physiotherapy for mobility
Speech and occupational therapy for daily support
5. Advanced Options
Stem Cell Therapy (HSCT): In select severe cases, to reset the immune system.
Immunotherapy Trials: Ongoing research for new treatments.
