Current management of multiple sclerosis
"Current management of multiple sclerosis Significant advances has been made in the management of MS patients. The treatment of relapses is well codified, and highly effective disease-modifying therapies target the inflammatory component in relapsing-remitting form of the disease, by reducing the frequency of relapses and the risk of the onset and worsening of disability. Disease-modifying therapies are less effective in the progressive forms of the disease. The management of the symptoms of the disease, often leading to disability, remains essential. It involves a coordinated multidisci¬plinary approach requiring the participation of many health professionals. It must also include the patient, as an active participant, in the management of his disease."
