Treating Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with relapsing multiple sclerosis, you may be ready to learn more about MS treatment options.

While corticosteroids may help speed recovery from a relapse or exacerbation, and other treatments may help manage some symptoms, the only treatments proven to alter the course of relapsing multiple sclerosis are called disease-modifying drugs (DMDs). DMDs are proven to be effective therapies for the treatment of relapsing MS. Some are clinically proven to change the course of the disease by slow the progression of disability. That's why many health care professionals think it's important to start DMD therapy as early as possible after diagnosis of relapsing MS.

Changing the course of relapsing MS

Possible benefits of DMD therapy include:

  • Slowing disability progression.
  • Reducing the frequency of relapses.
  • Reducing the development of new brain lesions as seen on MRI.

    Note that the exact correlation between MRI findings and the current or future clinical status of patients, including disability progression, is unknown.

Although taking a disease-modifying drug can't prevent relapses from occurring, it is your best defense in modifying the course of the disease.
