When considering the long-term malignancy risks associated with immunotherapies in multiple sclerosis (MS), it’s crucial to understand both the nature of MS and the mechanisms of immunotherapy. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the…
Value-based care models have significant potential to improve outcomes for people with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) by fostering coordinated, patient-centered, and efficient healthcare delivery tailored to the complex and evolving needs of this population. Progressive MS, characterized by a steady…
Insurance policies play a crucial role in shaping how people with multiple sclerosis (MS) adhere to disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) and how often they switch between these treatments. The influence of insurance is multifaceted, affecting access, affordability, continuity, and decision-making around…
Disparities in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) among underrepresented groups are significant and multifaceted, influenced by a complex interplay of biological, social, economic, and systemic factors. These disparities affect who gets diagnosed, how quickly, and the quality of care…
Navigating the complex healthcare system for multiple sclerosis (MS) can be daunting, especially when it comes to reducing diagnostic delays and disability. Care navigation plays a crucial role in this process by providing patients with the support and guidance they…
## Understanding Social Determinants of Health and Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex neurological disease that affects the central nervous system, leading to a wide range of symptoms and disabilities. While medical research has made significant progress in…
Tele-rehabilitation, often called tele-rehab, is transforming how people with multiple sclerosis (MS) in rural areas receive care. MS is a chronic neurological condition that affects the brain and spinal cord, leading to symptoms like muscle weakness, coordination problems, fatigue, and…
Exergaming, which combines exercise with interactive video gaming, holds significant promise as a scalable neurorehabilitation tool for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a chronic neurological condition that affects the central nervous system, leading to symptoms such as muscle…
Rehabilitation intensity plays a crucial role in influencing neuroplasticity during recovery from multiple sclerosis (MS). Neuroplasticity is the brain’s remarkable ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, which helps compensate for damage caused by MS. The level of…
People with multiple sclerosis (MS) often experience increased sensitivity to heat, which can temporarily worsen their neurological symptoms, including difficulties with walking (gait) and cognitive functions. This heat sensitivity is known as Uhthoff’s phenomenon. Cooling strategies have been explored as…
