ALL ABOUT MS  Treatment (Part 10)

Physical treatment

The most important goals of physiotherapy in MS patients are to alleviate the existing symptoms of the disease in the form of pain, fatigue, muscle spasms and urinary tract, to improve and preserve mobility at the highest possible level, and to enable daily activities, self-care , professional activity and social contacts.



In MS, the use of electrotherapy (electrostimulation, drug electrophoresis, diadynamic currents, interferent currents, transcutaneous electromechanical stimulation), magnetotherapy, laser therapy, hydrotherapy (swimming, exercise, massage), kinesitherapy (exercise), work therapy and primary aids function.

Exposure to heat can lead to deterioration of the symptoms of the disease, and it is therefore prohibited to use those physical agents that create heat in the body, e.g. high-frequency current KTD. Also, pool water in hydrotherapy should not be warmer than 29oC.
In MS patients, rehabilitation in hospital conditions in rehabilitation centers and neurology departments is recommended, as well as in home conditions, if the patient is previously trained in exercises. Arriving at the outpatient clinic causes a lot of fatigue to be avoided in this disease.


For rehabilitation, professional rehabilitation teams comprise physiotherapist, physiotherapist, speech therapist, social worker, nurse, and in cooperation with a neurologist. A physiatrist for each patient, in view of the very many disorders, makes a special rehabilitation program that suits this patient.

I will try to give you the advice you need to adopt to begin to regain control of your life. Or restore the ground under your feet, which have escaped you when the G35 diagnosis has evolved in your medical records. In fact, the longest way is to accept one such diagnosis.

ALL ABOUT MS Diagnosis of the disease (Part 7)

Diagnosis of the disease MS is not easy to diagnose. There is no specific test that could be diagnosed unambiguously, as there is no symptom that is specifically characteristic of that disease, or that only occurs therein. Diagnosis of MS must begin with a detailed history of the disease, followed by a complete physical examination, not only neurological, but also all other somatic systems. It is necessary to make certain laboratory tests to exclude possible other causes of symptoms. In addition, in order to diagnose MS, it is necessary, in the case of a relapse-remitent form, that there are at least two neurological disorders that reflect the demyelination period separated by a period of at least 30 days. Or, in the case of a primarily progressive form, there must be a slow progression of symptoms over a period of at least 6 months. Diagnosis of MS can be set only on the basis of clinical data and physical examination, but usually, for the diagnosis and initiation of the...
