Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. It is caused by an attack by the immune system that damages nerve fibers and leads to cognitive, emotional, motor, sensory, or visual disturbances.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects the central nervous system, especially the brain and spinal cord. It results from the immune system's mistaken attack on myelin, an essential protective layer for the transmission of nerve signals. This impairs communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
The inflammatory process triggered by the immune system damages the myelin sheath and oligodendrocytes. This leads to the formation of plaques in various parts of the central nervous system, especially in the optic nerves, cerebellum and spinal cord.
In Turkey, advances in research and treatment are enabling people with MS to maintain a better quality of life.
People with multiple sclerosis have different symptoms, depending on the location of the lesions in the central nervous system. The frequency of symptoms generally increases with the severity and duration of the disease.
The most common symptoms of multiple sclerosis include:
Other less common symptoms can still be a sign of multiple sclerosis. These less common symptoms include:
Our partner physicians in Turkey have in-depth knowledge of multiple sclerosis, enabling them to treat and manage its symptoms effectively.
The diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) is based on a combination of factors:
By combining these different tests, the neurologist can make an accurate diagnosis of multiple sclerosis and suggest appropriate treatment.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex neurological disease that affects the central nervous system. Although there is no cure, there are many treatments available in Turkey to relieve symptoms, reduce the frequency of relapses, and slow the progression of the disease.
Drugs called immunomodulators and immunosuppressants play a central role in modulating the immune system responsible for the lesions characteristic of MS. These treatments significantly reduce the risk of new attacks and slow the progression of the disease.
Interferon beta and glatiramer acetate are the most commonly used. They work by reducing inflammation and protecting myelin.
Newer treatments, such as monoclonal antibodies, offer additional options for patients.
Intravenous corticosteroids reduce inflammation and speed recovery in the event of an acute attack.
Many medications can relieve symptoms such as pain, fatigue, muscle spasms or urinary problems.
Functional rehabilitation, physiotherapy and psychological support are essential to optimize the quality of life of people with multiple sclerosis. This care is recommended from the onset of symptoms and throughout the course of the disease.
By reducing the progression of symptoms and increasing autonomy, rehabilitation significantly improves the well-being of patients. It enables them to learn strategies to cope with everyday challenges and to improve their motor and cognitive functions.
Although multiple sclerosis (MS) can have a significant impact on quality of life, it is generally not fatal. Life expectancy for people with MS is slightly lower than for the general population, but recent therapeutic advances allow most patients to live long, active lives.
The course of MS is highly variable and depends on many factors. While some forms can be more severe, leading to a greater reduction in life expectancy, the majority of people with MS benefit from effective treatments that delay disease progression and improve prognosis.
Rehabilitation can be done through three specialities, each targeting well-defined parts or functions of the body. These specialities are:
Multiple sclerosis is treated with special medicines that help slow the disease and reduce flare-ups. These include pills or injections. There are also medications to manage symptoms such as pain, muscle stiffness, and tiredness.
Multiple sclerosis symptoms, such as muscular weakness, sensitivity disorders, and optic nerve damage, can occur suddenly, or gradually worsen. Relapses usually occur over very short periods.
Pregnancy has been shown to reduce relapses of multiple sclerosis, especially in the last trimester. However, if neurological signs appear, a corticosteroid-based treatment will probably be prescribed by the doctor during a short hospital stay.
Generally, women with MS can breastfeed their babies. However, it should be noted that disease-modifying therapy must be resumed after weaning.
Neurologists are the primary doctors who treat multiple sclerosis because they are specialized in the brain and nervous system. They will help you determine the best treatment and medication option.
