Early management of optic neuritis can influence the trajectory of multiple sclerosis (MS) by potentially delaying or modifying disease progression, but it does not guarantee prevention of MS development or its long-term course. Optic neuritis, an inflammation of the optic…
Visual pathway biomarkers are powerful tools that help predict long-term disability in multiple sclerosis (MS) by revealing the extent of damage and neurodegeneration occurring in the visual system, which reflects broader disease processes. The visual pathway includes structures such as…
Speech-language therapy can play a significant role in improving both dysarthria and cognitive function in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Dysarthria, a motor speech disorder caused by neurological damage, often affects people with MS due to the disease’s impact on…
Dysphagia screening plays a crucial role in preventing complications in people with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) by identifying swallowing difficulties early, enabling timely intervention to reduce risks such as aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, and dehydration. Progressive MS often affects the nerves…
Neuromodulation can be a safe and effective treatment option for managing neurogenic bladder in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Neurogenic bladder occurs when nerve damage from MS disrupts the normal control of the bladder, leading to symptoms like urgency, frequency,…
Bladder and bowel dysfunction in multiple sclerosis (MS) arise primarily from the damage MS causes to the nervous system pathways that control these functions. MS is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective myelin sheath around…
Dysautonomia, a disorder of the autonomic nervous system, frequently complicates the lives of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). This condition disrupts the body’s automatic functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature regulation. In MS patients, dysautonomia can…
Autonomic dysfunction and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) in people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) present as complex and often overlapping challenges that affect the body’s automatic nervous system control, which regulates vital functions like heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) neuropathic pain is a complex and often debilitating symptom experienced by many people living with MS. It arises from damage to the nervous system caused by the disease, leading to abnormal pain signals. Traditionally, opioids have been…
## Understanding Chronic Pain in Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerves, called myelin, in the brain and spinal cord. This damage disrupts normal nerve signaling and…
