MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS)

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS)

Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the myelin sheath that covers the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, is detected as a foreign substance by the body's own immune system.

Myelin sheath is an isolation material that covers the outside of nerve cells and allows electrical signals to pass through the nerve. Insulation material, such as a plastic sheath outside the same electrical conducting cable, serves. If the myelin sheath is damaged, the signals can not pass, short circuits occur, and the disease symptoms arise accordingly. The ability to control the functions of the brain such as vision, speech, and walking is impaired.

Speech disorders such as visual impairment, double vision, unintentional movement of the eye, dyschromia, excessive fatigue or feeling unusually tired, faltering or loss of balance, prominent limb drift, palpitations, numbness and tingling sensation, spasticity or muscle cramp, Symptoms such as sexual function problems, heat sensitivity, loss of bladder and large intestine control (incontinence), partial or complete paralysis of any part of the body. Short-term memory problems, reasoning problems occur.

Multiple sclerosis does not have any specific laboratory test. The most useful test is to measure immunoglobulin G (IgG) production in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It may be useful to view the damage on the MR.

Common therapies include cortisone, interferon, natalizumab, etc., which prevent the immune system from functioning. Drugs. The effectiveness of these treatments is limited. Because he will not remove the cause of the disease.

Ideal treatment;

Myelin removes the immune complex molluscs that accumulate in the sheath and cause the mark to be marked as foreign,

Prevents the formation of the immun complex again,

In the last stage, myelin sheath is a treatment that removes damage.
