什么是多发性硬化症?

多发性硬化症是一种慢性神经系统疾病. In MS, the immune system attacks the fatty substance that surrounds and protects nerves (myelin). Over time, the myelin breakdown can lead to scar tissue buildup (sclerosis). When this occurs, the nerves have trouble sending electrical signals to the brain as they should.

多发性硬化症的症状差别很大. Some people have minor symptoms, while others have frequent and severe symptoms. 多发性硬化症可能导致:

• 难以集中注意力
• 头晕
• Fatigue
• 肌肉无力
• 麻木或刺痛
• 语音变化
• 震颤或不自主肌肉运动(痉挛)
• 视觉变化，如重影或色彩失真

我们提供多发性硬化症的测试和治疗

Whether you have symptoms that could be MS or you’re already diagnosed, our experts can help. We provide a full range of services to diagnose MS, manage symptoms and improve your quality of life.

MS诊断

为了诊断多发性硬化症，患者通常要进行一系列检查. 我们的专家可能会使用:

• 血液测试 排除与多发性硬化症相似的症状
• 诱发电位试验 to check if certain areas of the brain send or receive sensory messages more slowly than usual
• MRI to check the myelin breakdown or scar tissue on the brain or spinal cord
• 脊椎抽液 (lumbar puncture) to check cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to rule out an infection or check for the antibodies that could point to an MS诊断
• 视野测试 检查视力的变化

多发性硬化症的治疗

目前还没有已知的治疗多发性硬化症的方法. But our specialists can help people with MS manage symptoms and reduce and treat flare-ups. 多发性硬化症治疗包括:

• 药物: Some medicines reduce inflammation and slow the progression of MS. Others, such as steroids, can help speed recovery from an MS flare-up.
• 康复服务: Many people with MS benefit from physical therapy or occupational therapy. A physical therapist can help you learn to use assistive devices such as canes or walkers. They also help you improve motor skills, muscle strength, mobility, balance and function. An occupational therapist can teach techniques to help you perform daily activities and enhance your independence.
