Understanding DMTs in MS Treatment with Dr. Amit Shah

Disease-Modifying Therapies (DMTs) in Multiple Sclerosis Treatment
1. Modulating the Immune System:

DMTs aim to regulate the immune response in Multiple Sclerosis, preventing the autoimmune attack on the myelin sheath covering nerve fibers.


2. Reducing Inflammation:

DMTs work by dampening inflammation within the central nervous system, minimizing damage to myelin and nerve fibers.
3. Preventing Relapses:

Effective in reducing the frequency and severity of relapses, DMTs aim to decrease exacerbations, preserving neurological function.
4. Slowing Disease Progression:

Designed to slow down overall disease progression, DMTs prevent the accumulation of disability and preserve central nervous system function.
5. Promoting Nerve Repair:

Some DMTs may have the potential to promote remyelination, supporting the repair of damaged myelin.
Considerations and Patient Involvement
DMT selection depends on factors like MS type, disease activity, and individual characteristics.
Neurologists typically prescribe DMTs based on a thorough assessment of the patient's medical history.
Collaboration with healthcare teams is crucial for monitoring DMT effectiveness and managing potential side effects.
Regular follow-up appointments and open communication are essential for optimizing MS treatment.
