Research on yoga for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) shows that yoga can be a valuable complementary approach to managing symptoms and improving quality of life. MS is a chronic neurological condition characterized by inflammation and damage to the central…
Exercise has a significant and positive effect on brain volume in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), helping to preserve and even improve brain structure despite the disease’s neurodegenerative nature. In MS, the immune system attacks the protective myelin sheath around…
Antioxidants play a crucial role in managing multiple sclerosis (MS) by counteracting oxidative stress, which is a significant factor in the disease’s progression and neurological damage. MS is characterized by inflammation and demyelination in the central nervous system, processes that…
The connection between iron levels and multiple sclerosis (MS) is complex and increasingly recognized as an important factor influencing the disease’s development and progression. Iron is a vital mineral in the body, essential for many biological processes including oxygen transport,…
Vitamin B12 and multiple sclerosis (MS) have been linked in research due to the vitamin’s critical role in nervous system health and its potential impact on MS symptoms and progression. Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is essential for the…
Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, plays a unique and increasingly studied role in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), particularly in its progressive forms. MS is a chronic neurological disease characterized by damage to the myelin…
Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) is an emerging treatment approach that has gained attention for its potential benefits in multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system. Unlike the standard high-dose naltrexone used for opioid addiction, LDN is…
The connection between the JC virus and multiple sclerosis (MS) medications centers on a serious brain infection called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). The JC virus (JCV) is a common virus that most people carry without symptoms. It usually remains dormant…
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare but serious brain infection caused by the JC virus, which can become active in people with weakened immune systems. In multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment, certain disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), especially immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory drugs,…
Alemtuzumab is a powerful medication used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS), particularly in patients with active relapsing forms of the disease. Its effect on MS relapses is significant because it works by targeting and depleting specific immune cells that contribute…
