Multiple Sclerosis and Demyelinating Disorders at CerebrumCor Clinic
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and other demyelinating disorders are complex neurological conditions that demand specialized care. At CerebrumCor Clinic, our dedicated neurologists are committed to providing comprehensive and expert care for individuals facing these challenging disorders.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Explained
Are you or someone you care about suffering from weakness, vision problems, or numbness without explanation? You might be suffering from a demyelinating disorder like Multiple Sclerosis. We at CerebrumCor Clinic, Thane, have specialized treatment for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and other demyelinating disorders to help patients live a more normal life.
What Are Demyelinating Disorders?
Demyelinating diseases are conditions of the nervous system in which the myelin sheath of nerve fibers in the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves is destroyed. Myelin plays a central role in rapid nerve impulse conduction. Destroyed, nerve communication becomes reduced or even comes to a stop, resulting in a range of neurological symptoms.
Common Demyelinating Disorders
Multiple Sclerosis (MS): The best-described demyelinating disorder. MS is an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system targets the CNS, killing the myelin.
Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD): An autoimmune disease where the optic nerves and spinal cord are especially targeted, often misdiagnosed with MS.
Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM): An acute and diffuse inflammation of the spinal cord and brain, usually following a viral infection.
Transverse Myelitis: Affects the spinal cord, producing weakness, pain, and sensory alteration.
What is Multiple Sclerosis?
Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, unpredictable disease that occurs in the brain and spinal cord. It occurs in over 2.8 million people worldwide and is typically diagnosed in patients aged 20–40 years, though it can occur at any age.
Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis
- Numbness or tingling in arms and legs
- Muscle weakness or spasticity
- Vision disturbances, including blurred or double vision
- Fatigue and dizziness
- Balance and coordination difficulties
- Cognitive dysfunction
- Urinary or bowel dysfunction
Symptoms vary with the location and extent of the nerve damage. MS is typically linked to periods of relapses followed by remissions.
Professional Diagnosis and Treatment at CerebrumCor Clinic
In CerebrumCor Clinic, Thane’s trusted neurology clinic, we offer specialized treatment for MS patients and other demyelinating disorders. Our neurologist, Dr. Kusum Sikariya, has extensive years of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of these complex conditions.
Advanced Diagnostic Tools
Early and accurate diagnosis is critical for effective treatment. We use:
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) to detect lesions within the brain and spinal cord
Lumbar puncture to analyze cerebrospinal fluid
Blood testing to rule out other infectious or autoimmune conditions
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) to test optic nerve damage
Individualized Treatment Plans
There is no one treatment plan for MS or demyelinating disease. We design customized treatment plans to manage symptoms, reduce disease activity, and maximize daily function.
Treatment Options Include:
Immunomodulatory Therapy: Disease-modifying drugs (DMTs) to reduce relapses and halt the disease.
Steroid Therapy: Used at exacerbations to reduce inflammation.
Plasma Exchange (Plasmapheresis): Useful in acute attacks not responding to steroids.
Symptomatic Treatment: Symptomatic relief from pain, muscle cramps, fatigue, and other associated symptoms.
Rehabilitation: Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and counseling to maximize quality of life.
