We want to note the extreme goodwill of the whole team, we believe that doctors did their best !!!
the treatment was at the highest level, starting with the airport, we were greeted very warmly, taken to the hotel, which we chose, given our difficulties (son on wheelchair). The treatment started from the first day, tests, droppers, vitamin injections and, of course , stem fetal cells due to which, in fact, we arrived. In Israel we were refused because it is not included in the basket, but privately we have it worth five times more expensive, we were ten days and every day we were taken away from the hotel and returned, we want to note the extreme goodwill of the whole team, m felt comfortable with our family, and we became close people during our stay. Professionalism at the highest level, we Israelis already know this, now we have to wait for the results of treatment, it all depends on the organism of my son, but most importantly, we believe that doctors did their best !!!

We successfully operated on our daughter Nika Popova at the San Donato clinic (Italy). Thank you so much for the Bookimed service for the excellent organization of the trip. Our manager Aleksey Karaganov was always in touch and helped with all issues (visas, booking, medical and legal issues). The clinic, staff, ward are all at the highest level and the main thing is that real masters of their craft work there. Our attending physicians were delighted with the results of the most complicated heart surgery, the Ross operation. It is unfortunate that politics affects not only ordinary citizens, but also their children. I wish you patience, kindness and health to you and your loved ones, so that as many children from all over the world as possible can receive help. Thank you very much to Alexei and your entire team.

They also asign a doctor that speaks your language to attend with you in case you need any help with communication. Prof. Colombo is very professional, he gave me all the time to ask and discuss with him all what I wanted. Thanks to Bookimed and Dr. Marian for their recommendation. It really helped me. I am totally satisfied. I wanted to find a good place specialized in headache treatment and Bookimed helped me find the perfect place.

FAQ about Multiple sclerosis Treatment

What Is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, called myelin, leading to inflammation, damage, and disruption of nerve signals.

In the United States, the average chance of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) is about 3 in 1,000, which is less than 1%. For close family members, like a child or sibling, the risk goes up to 3-4%.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) is a leading organization that provides education, support, and advocacy for people with MS.

What Are the Types of Multiple Sclerosis?

image

There are four main types of MS:

  • Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS). Relapsing multiple sclerosis most common form, affecting about 85% of people with MS. Symptoms come and go in flare-ups, followed by periods of recovery.

  • Secondary-Progressive MS (SPMS). After years of relapsing-remitting MS, some people enter this phase, where symptoms worsen steadily over time.

  • Primary-Progressive MS (PPMS). From the onset, progressive multiple sclerosis causes a gradual worsening of symptoms without any clear relapses. Around 10-15% of people with MS have this type.

  • Progressive-relapsing MS (PRMS) is the rarest form, in which symptoms get progressively worse, but flare-ups still occur.

Type of MS Definition Effective Treatments Success Rates

Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS)

Characterized by clear episodes of new or worsening symptoms followed by periods of recovery.

Treatments that modify the disease course to reduce flare-ups and slow progression. For example, Ocrelizumab.

Substantial reduction in annual relapse rates.

Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS)

Follows RRMS, marked by steady progression, with or without relapses.

Medications that help manage symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease. For instance, Siponimod.

Significant management of progression and relapses.

Primary Progressive MS (PPMS)

Worsening neurological function from the onset without early relapses.

The first approved medication specifically for PPMS that slows the worsening of the disease is Ocrelizumab.

Modest reduction in progression rates.

Progressive-Relapsing MS (PRMS)

Steady progression from the onset, with acute relapses.

Similar strategies as SPMS and PPMS.

Varies, focuses on managing progression.

What Diseases Mimic Multiple Sclerosis?

It's common for people to go through several wrong diagnoses before finally finding out they have MS. Some may wait years, unsure if they will ever get a clear answer. This happens because there isn’t a straightforward test to diagnose MS, and many other conditions can show symptoms similar to MS. These conditions are known as "MS mimics."

Experienced doctors that treat multiple sclerosis will quickly rule out the following:

  • Fibromyalgia;

  • Vitamin B12 deficiency;

  • Muscular dystrophy (MD);

  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease);

  • Migraine;

  • Hypothyroidism;

  • Hypertension;

  • Beçhet's disease;

  • Arnold-Chiari deformity;

  • Mitochondrial disorders.

What Causes Multiple Sclerosis?

Multiple sclerosis is a disease that involves a broad clinical picture of symptoms. Doctors aren’t sure why some people develop MS, but certain factors can increase the risk:

  • Genetics. The risk is higher if someone in the family has MS.

  • Infections. Some viruses, like the Epstein-Barr virus, have been linked to MS.

  • Geography. MS is more common in areas farther from the equator, suggesting a connection to lower sunlight exposure and vitamin D levels.

  • Gender. Women are two to three times more likely to develop MS than men.

What Are the Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis?

MS symptoms vary greatly depending on which part of the nervous system is affected. Some common symptoms include:

  • Fatigue doesn’t improve with rest.

  • Numbness or Tingling is often felt in the face, body, arms, or legs.

  • Muscle Weakness, which makes it difficult to walk or hold objects.

  • Vision Problems, such as blurred or double vision, are common, especially during a flare-up.

  • Dizziness and Balance Issues. Difficulty in maintaining balance or feeling lightheaded.

Some people also experience memory problems and depression due to the effects multiple sclerosis has on the brain.

Who Is More at Risk for Multiple Sclerosis?

According to the National MS Society, the risk of developing MS is higher for:

  • Ages 20-40;

  • Women (2-3 times more likely than men);

  • Family history of MS;

  • Living far from the equator (less sunlight/vitamin D);

  • Viral infections like Epstein-Barr;

  • Smokers;

  • People with autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes.

image

These factors can increase the chance of developing MS but aren't a 100% guarantee of getting the disease.

What Are the Tests to Diagnose MS?

Diagnosing MS can be challenging, as symptoms can mimic other conditions. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society advice several tests to confirm MS:

  • MRI scans are performed to see any brain or spinal cord lesions.

  • A lumbar puncture (Spinal Tap) checks the fluid around the brain and spinal cord.

  • Evoked Potentials Tests measure how quickly the brain responds to visual or electrical stimuli, helping detect nerve damage.

What Are the Treatments for MS?

There is no targeted cure for MS, but treatments can help manage symptoms and slow the disease's progression. Multiple sclerosis care depends on the condition's type and severity. Here are some standard options:

  • 💊 Medications. Infusion treatment for multiple sclerosis includes interferons (e.g., Avonex) or monoclonal antibodies (e.g., Ocrevus), which can slow disease progression. Oral medications like Tecfidera also help control the immune system.

  • 🏋🏻‍♀️ Physical Therapy. This helps strengthen muscles, improve balance, and maintain mobility. A physical therapist will work with patients to create a plan that suits their needs.

  • 🏵 Corticosteroids. These drugs help reduce inflammation during flare-ups, speeding up recovery from an attack.

  • 🩸 Plasma Exchange (Plasmapheresis) is used when other treatments don’t work. It removes harmful substances from the blood, helping control severe symptoms.

Treatment Strategy Description Success Rate

Disease-Modifying Therapies (DMTs)

Modulate or suppress immune response to prevent damage to the nervous system.

Reduces relapse rates by 30-70% and slows progression in many patients.

Corticosteroids

Reduce inflammation quickly to manage acute MS flare-ups.

Effective in reducing the duration and severity of relapses during acute flare-ups.

Symptomatic Treatments

Target and alleviate specific MS symptoms like spasticity and pain.

Effective in managing specific symptoms, significantly improving quality of life.

Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation

Use exercises to enhance mobility, function, and manage day-to-day symptoms.

Significantly aids in maintaining mobility and daily functioning, improving patients' quality of life.

Plasma Exchange (Plasmapheresis)

Remove and replace blood to eliminate harmful elements from the blood that impact MS symptoms.

Improves outcomes in about 40-45% of cases, particularly those unresponsive to other treatments.

Emerging Therapies

Investigate novel approaches like stem cell therapies and targeted immunotherapies.

Still under research; early results show potential but require more extensive clinical trials to confirm efficacy.

How Common Are Cognitive Symptoms in Multiple Sclerosis?

Cognitive symptoms, or issues related to thinking and memory, are common in multiple sclerosis (MS). About half of the people with MS (50-66%) experience changes in how they think, process information, or remember things. These symptoms range from mild forgetfulness to more noticeable difficulty concentrating or multitasking.

Here are some common cognitive symptoms and their examples:

  • Memory Problems. People with MS may struggle to remember details, such as appointments, names, or where they left their keys. For instance, they might forget what they visited the store for or miss an important meeting.

  • Difficulty Focusing. A patient with MS might find it challenging to follow a conversation in a noisy room or stay focused on reading a book.

  • Slower Thinking (Processing Speed). Simple tasks may take longer to complete because processing information becomes slower. For instance, following a recipe might feel overwhelming because understanding and following each step takes more time.

  • Problem-Solving Challenges. MS makes it difficult to think through complex tasks or make quick decisions. This might be as simple as having trouble figuring out how to organize a busy day or deciding the best route to take when driving.

  • Trouble Multitasking. Doing multiple things simultaneously, like talking on the phone while cooking or managing several projects at work, becomes overwhelming. It may feel easier to focus on just one thing at a time.

What Is the Best Country for Multiple Sclerosis Treatment?

The main factors to consider when selecting a country for MS care include:

  • Specialized Care. The best hospitals for multiple sclerosis have available equipment and expertise to satisfy your treatment plan.

  • Advanced Therapies. Consider countries that offer a wide range of treatment options, including disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), rehabilitation programs, and emerging therapies.

  • Clinical Trials. Some countries may be more actively looking for new MS treatments that provide access to cutting-edge therapies.

  • Cost and Insurance. Check if your insurance company will cover treatments for MS.

  • Quality of Life. Evaluate the overall quality of life in the chosen country, including cultural differences, language barriers, and accessibility.

How Effective is Cell Treatment for Multiple Sclerosis?

cells are the ones that turn into different kinds of cells in the human body. Some doctors use a type of stem cell treatment called hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to treat RRMS. However, they need more research to know how well HSCT works against it.

One trial of 24 people with RRMS found that 69% who had stem cell therapy didn't have a relapse in MS symptoms or new brain lesions, which are caused by MS, 5 years after treatment.

cell therapy has serious risks. During HSCT, the immune system isn't at full strength. This means that doctors at MS treatment center have to acknowledge the higher risks of infection with bacteria or virus.

How Does Multiple Sclerosis Progress Over Time?

MS is different for everyone, but many people with the condition experience periods of relapse and remission, especially in the early stages. Over time, MS may become more progressive, with symptoms becoming more constant and severe.

For example, someone with RRMS might notice long periods with no symptoms at all, followed by sudden flare-ups. As MS progresses into SPMS, symptoms may gradually worsen, even between relapses.

What Does MS Treatment Cost?

The multiple sclerosis treatment price can vary depending on the type of care, the country, and the length of treatment. Here is a general idea of the average cost of MS treatment:

  • Turkey: $15,000-$30,000 for similar services, including access to advanced therapies.

  • Germany: $30,000-$50,000 for high-end care and personalized treatment plans.

  • Israel: $20,000-$40,000 for comprehensive care, including medications and rehabilitation.

What Are the Latest Advancements in Multiple Sclerosis Treatment?

Recent advancements in multiple sclerosis (MS) research and treatment include:

  1. Disease-Modifying Therapies (DMTs). New medications, such as siponimod (Mayzent) and ozanimod (Zeposia), offer improved efficacy and fewer side effects than older treatments. These drugs help reduce the frequency of relapses and slow disease progression.

  2. Cell Therapy. Research into hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is showing promising results. Studies indicate that HSCT can potentially halt disease progression in some patients with aggressive forms of MS.

  3. Biomarkers and Imaging. Advances in MRI technology and identifying new biomarkers improve early diagnosis and disease progression monitoring. Techniques like advanced MRI scans can now detect subtle changes in brain lesions that were previously undetectable.

  4. Genetic Research. Ongoing research is uncovering genetic factors linked to MS, which may lead to personalized treatments tailored to individual genetic profiles.

  5. Neuroprotective Strategies. New studies are focusing on protecting nerve cells from damage. Treatments aimed at reducing inflammation and repairing myelin damage are showing promise in clinical trials.

How to Choose the Best Doctor for Multiple Sclerosis?

Finding doctors who specialize in multiple sclerosis is essential, as this condition requires specialized care. When selecting a doctor, consider:

  • Experience with MS. Choose a doctor with a track record of treating MS patients successfully.

  • Access to the Latest Treatments. Specialists involved in research can offer newer, more effective treatments.

  • Patient Reviews. Look for positive feedback from other MS patients, which can give insight into the doctor’s communication and care quality.
