Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack the myelin sheath, leading to communication breakdowns between the brain and the rest of the body. Symptoms can range from mild fatigue to severe disability, affecting movement, vision, and cognitive function. Dr. Bharat Rastogi focuses on early diagnosis and personalized treatment to help manage MS symptoms and slow the disease’s progression.

Diagnosis is often confirmed through MRI and lumbar puncture. While there is no cure for MS, disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) can reduce the frequency of relapses and slow the advancement of the disease. Symptomatic treatments, including physical therapy and medications for pain or spasticity, play a critical role in improving the quality of life for MS patients.
