Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Clinic

Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory autoimmune condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms of multiple sclerosis include sudden visual impairment, arm or leg weakness or numbness, loss of balance, difficulty in passing urine, memory and cognitive issues, and fatigue (feeling tired). It affects young people and predominantly women. If not treated, it causes permanent deterioration of the nerves, and the patient may eventually become dependent on caregivers. The cause of multiple sclerosis is not known, but it is believed to be due to a combination of genetic, immunological & environmental factors. At our Multi Sclerosis Clinic, we provide holistic and comprehensive care to patients with multiple sclerosis.

For diagnosing the condition, a detailed clinical assessment of history & examination including the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is performed by the neurologists. MRI of brain and spine (MS protocol) is performed with 3 Tesla machine and the data is stored for future references. This helps in monitoring the progression of disease and success of therapy, which is called ‘No evidence of disease activity’ (NEDA). Specialised serological and immunological blood tests as well in CSF is also performed.
