Multiple Sclerosis & Neuroinflammatory Disorders

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease that affects the central nervous system, especially the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. This can lead to a wide range of symptoms throughout the body. All the consequences of Multiple Sclerosis or MS as it is popularly known are not purely neurological and physical.

There is no cure for multiple sclerosis. Treatment typically focuses on speeding recovery from attacks, reducing new radiographic and clinical relapses, slowing the progression of the disease, and managing MS symptoms.

The primary goal of treatment in MS is to delay the progression of the disease and limit disability over time by reducing the inflammatory component of the disease. The care plan goals for patients with multiple sclerosis is to shorten physical and mental exacerbations, and to relieve neurologic deficits so that the patient can resume a normal lifestyle.

Signs & Symptoms

MS affects individuals differently. For some, it starts with a subtle sensation, and their symptoms do not progress for months or years. Sometimes, symptoms worsen rapidly, within weeks or months. Here are some notable symptoms of MS:
  • People may develop weak muscles due to lack of use or stimulation due to nerve damage
  • A “pins and needles” type sensation is one of the earliest symptoms of MS that can affect the face, body, or arms and legs
  • A person may experience a sensation like an electric shock when they move their neck, known as Lhermitte’s sign
  • A person may have difficulty emptying their bladder or need to urinate frequently or suddenly (urge incontinence).
  • Constipation can cause fecal impaction, which can lead to bowel incontinence
  • Fatigue can undermine a person’s ability to function at work or at home and is one of the most common symptoms of MS
  • Dizziness and vertigo are common problems, along with balance and coordination issues
  • Both males and females may lose interest in sex.
  • Spasticity and muscle spasms are an early sign of MS.
  • Damaged nerve fibers in the spinal cord and brain can cause painful muscle spasms, particularly in the legs
  • Some people with MS may experience involuntary quivering movements or tremors
  • Some people may experience double or blurred vision, a partial or total loss of vision, or red-green color distortion
  • MS can change the way people walk, because of muscle weakness and problems with balance, dizziness, and fatigue
  • Demyelination and nerve-fiber damage in the brain can trigger emotional changes and depression
  • Learning and memory problems can make it difficult to concentrate, plan, learn, prioritize, and multitask
  • Pain is a common symptom in MS and neuropathic pain is directly due to MS while other types of pain occur because of weakness or stiffness of muscles

At Buddhi Clinic our assessment includes standard outcome indicators for activities of daily life, quality of life, neuro-disability and mental health.
