Demyelinating Disease

Demyelinating disorders involve damage to the myelin sheath, the protective covering of nerve fibers, disrupting communication between the brain and the rest of the body. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most well-known demyelinating conditions, often presenting with symptoms like muscle weakness, fatigue, and vision problems.

Dr. Bharat Rastogi works with patients to diagnose and manage these disorders through a combination of clinical evaluation, MRI, and cerebrospinal fluid analysis. Treatment for demyelinating diseases typically includes immunomodulatory drugs to slow progression, along with therapies to manage symptoms like pain, spasticity, or fatigue. A multidisciplinary approach ensures the best possible care, improving the quality of life for patients affected by these conditions.
