Patient's question:
My uncle is 48 years old this year. When he was young, he was particularly capable and hardworking, and he developed many habits. Now, after a thorough examination, it was found that he has multiple sclerosis. Hello, can this disease be cured?Doctor's answer:
It is an autoimmune disease characterized by demyelination of the central nervous system white matter. Most patients exhibit recurrent neurological dysfunction, with episodes of remission and relapse, and worsening of the condition. To date, there is no effective treatment for multiple sclerosis. The main goal of treatment is to suppress the progression of inflammatory demyelinating lesions during the acute phase, prevent factors that may exacerbate the disease, and minimize the frequency of relapses.
