    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Immunology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease with complex pathogenesis and varied clinical presentations.
    • Understanding immunological changes is crucial for effective MS treatment strategies.
    • Long-term therapeutic approaches require a comprehensive overview of available and emerging options.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the pathogenesis, pathology, clinical symptoms, and immunological changes relevant to multiple sclerosis treatment.
    • To discuss conventional, steroid, and immunosuppressive therapies based on extensive clinical experience and published data.
    • To survey the theoretical basis and clinical application of investigational therapeutic methods, alongside rehabilitation and aftercare.

    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive literature review of data concerning multiple sclerosis.
    • Analysis of 37 years of personal experience with conventional drug therapy, steroid therapy, and immunosuppressive therapy.
    • Survey of emerging therapeutic strategies, relaxation therapy, physiotherapy, and psychopathological aspects.

    Main Results:

    • Conventional drug therapy, steroid therapy for acute forms, and cytostatic/immunosuppressive therapy for chronic forms are established treatment modalities.
    • Investigational therapies show promise, requiring further study of their theoretical basis and clinical efficacy.
    • Rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and comprehensive aftercare are vital components of managing psychopathological phenomena and patient well-being.

    Conclusions:

    • A multifaceted approach integrating pharmacological treatments with rehabilitation and robust aftercare is essential for managing multiple sclerosis.
    • Continuous evaluation of novel therapeutic strategies is necessary to improve outcomes for patients with multiple sclerosis.
    • Addressing the psychopathological aspects and providing extended patient support significantly enhances the quality of life for individuals with MS.
