MS
Treatments
There is no cure for MS, although scientists and researchers are still working towards finding one.
However, if someone has MS their life can be greatly improved by managing the various symptoms. There are different ways of doing that, including:
Drug treatments: Steroids can help somebody to recover from a relapse, and are usually given as part of a hospital treatment. For some people with MS, disease modifying drugs can reduce the number of relapses that they get. These can be taken at home, by injection.
Practical things can also help, such as keeping heating low if a person feels too hot, or helping them with recommended exercises.
Other therapies can sometimes help people with MS to feel better, and are sometimes used to try to help improve the person’s overall health.
