What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system, where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath, the protective covering around nerve cells. This damage to myelin disrupts nerve signals, leading to a wide range of symptoms such as fatigue, numbness, weakness, vision problems, and difficulty with balance and coordination. MS typically affects young adults, is more common in women, and has no known cure, though treatments can help manage symptoms and slow disease progression.Request a Call Back
What happens in Multiple Sclerosis MS?
- Immune attack: The immune system targets and damages myelin in the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves.
- Nerve damage: This destruction of myelin slows or stops the transmission of nerve signals.
- Symptoms: The resulting nerve damage can cause a variety of symptoms, which vary from person to person depending on the location and extent of the damage.
Common symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis MS:
- Motor symptoms: Muscle stiffness, Fatigue and weakness, spasms, and problems with balance and coordination.
- Sensory symptoms: Numbness, tingling, and vision issues like blurred vision or pain when moving the eyes.
- Cognitive and emotional changes: Difficulties with memory, concentration, and mood swings.
- Visual disturbances, including blurred or double vision.
Types of Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Knowing which type of MS you have helps you and your doctors find the best way to manage it.
The four main types are:
- Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS): This is the most common type. People experience flare-ups of new or worsening symptoms (called relapses), followed by periods of recovery when symptoms improve or even disappear.
- Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS): Many people with RRMS eventually move into this stage. Symptoms no longer come and go—they gradually get worse over time.
- Primary Progressive MS (PPMS): From the very beginning, symptoms slowly get worse, without the ups and downs seen in RRMS.
- Progressive-Relapsing MS (PRMS): This is a rare type. Symptoms steadily get worse from the start, but there are also occasional relapses.
Comprehensive MS Treatment Options at Leading Hospitals in India
Our hospitals provide a full spectrum of services. MS patients receive personalized care plans designed to manage common MS symptoms— advanced therapies for Multiple Sclerosis (MS), customized to meet the unique needs of each patient. Key treatment options include:
Disease-Modifying Therapies (DMTs): A broad selection of DMTs aimed at reducing relapse rates and slowing disease progression. These include injectable medications, oral therapies, and infusion treatments such as Ocrelizumab and Natalizumab.
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT): A highly promising option for patients with aggressive forms of relapsing-remitting MS. HSCT works by “resetting” the immune system, thereby helping to reduce relapses and slow disease activity.
Comprehensive Symptom Management: Under the guidance of Dr. Rahul including pain, muscle stiffness, fatigue, and cognitive changes—through a combination of medications, physical therapy, and cognitive rehabilitation. Request a Call Back
What is HSCT?
At its core, HSCT is a chemotherapy-based medical procedure. It works by completely ablating (wiping out) the existing immune system using powerful chemotherapy. Then, it reboots your body by reintroducing your own stem cells, harvested beforehand from your blood or bone marrow.
Think of it like this: it’s a hard reset. Not just symptom management, but a chance to stop the disease in its tracks.
