Management of multiple sclerosis. How to improve the quality of life.
Multiple sclerosis manifests itself in a number of ways, affecting many body functions and systems. It is not possible to change the pathologic course of multiple sclerosis at this time, but this does not mean that physicians cannot improve the quality of life for patients with this disease. By participating in regular exercise, patients can maintain their strength and mobility. Spasticity may be controlled with medications, and urologic problems, which not only are often overlooked but also have a major bearing on patients' social and vocational life, should be controlled to the greatest extent possible.
