What is Multiple Sclerosis?
What is Multiple Sclerosis?
In this condition, the body’s immune system mistakenly starts attacking the myelin cells, which are the protective covers or sheaths surrounding the brain and the spinal cord nerves. The damage to the myelin sheath interrupts the signals or messages that the nerves send throughout the body to perform important functions like sensation, vision, and movement.
Almost 70% of people having epilepsy can manage the condition well with the help of medications. When medications fail to control the seizures, surgery and other treatment options may be used.
Although epilepsy cannot be cured, timely interventions and epilepsy care in Ahmedabad at SGVP Holistic Hospital can help manage the symptoms of the condition effectively and enable people affected by epilepsy to lead normal and productive lives.
Types of Multiple Sclerosis
- Clinically isolated syndrome (CIS): It is a single and first episode of symptoms associated with MS that lasts for at least 24 hours. If another episode takes place at a later date, the doctor might diagnose it as relapse-remitting MS.
- Relapse-remitting MS (RRMS): It is the most common type of MS, and about 85% of people having MS are diagnosed with RRMS initially. It involves episodes of increasing or new symptoms, which are followed by remission periods, during which the symptoms tend to go away either partially or completely.
- Primary progressive MS (PPMS): In this condition, the symptoms tend to progressively worsen without early remissions or relapses. Certain people could experience periods of stability and other periods when the symptoms worsen and may get better. Approximately 15% of people with MS have PPMS.
- Secondary progressive MS (SPMS): A person with SPMS will first experience relapse and remission episodes, but then the disease starts progressing steadily.

Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis
Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis
- Neurological examination: The doctor does a thorough physical and cognitive assessment by evaluating reflexes, coordination, vision, muscle strength, and sensation.
- MRI scan: It is the most sensitive tool for detecting MS lesions or plaques in the brain and spinal cord.
- Lumbar puncture (spinal tap): The cerebrospinal fluid removed from the spinal cord is analyzed for abnormal immune cells or proteins, such as oligoclonal bands.
- Evoked potential tests: These tests help measure electrical responses to sensory stimuli (visual, auditory, or somatosensory) to detect slowed nerve conduction.
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT): It is a non-invasive eye imaging test that evaluates the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer, which may indicate optic nerve damage due to MS.
- Blood tests: These tests help exclude other autoimmune, infectious, or metabolic disorders that mimic MS symptoms.
