"}},"texts":{"txt_illness_3_clinics":{"text":"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.
\n\nIn 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%.
\n\nThe National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) is a leading organization that provides education, support, and advocacy for people with MS.
\n\n
There are four main types of MS:
\n\nRelapsing-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.
\n\tSecondary-Progressive MS (SPMS). After years of relapsing-remitting MS, some people enter this phase, where symptoms worsen steadily over time.
\n\tPrimary-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.
\n\tProgressive-relapsing MS (PRMS) is the rarest form, in which symptoms get progressively worse, but flare-ups still occur.
\n\t| Type of MS | \n\t\t\tDefinition | \n\t\t\tEffective Treatments | \n\t\t\tSuccess Rates | \n\t\t
\n\t\t\tRelapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS) | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tCharacterized by clear episodes of new or worsening symptoms followed by periods of recovery. | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tTreatments that modify the disease course to reduce flare-ups and slow progression. For example, Ocrelizumab. | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tSubstantial reduction in annual relapse rates. | \n\t\t
\n\t\t\tSecondary Progressive MS (SPMS) | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tFollows RRMS, marked by steady progression, with or without relapses. | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tMedications that help manage symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease. For instance, Siponimod. | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tSignificant management of progression and relapses. | \n\t\t
\n\t\t\tPrimary Progressive MS (PPMS) | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tWorsening neurological function from the onset without early relapses. | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tThe first approved medication specifically for PPMS that slows the worsening of the disease is Ocrelizumab. | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tModest reduction in progression rates. | \n\t\t
\n\t\t\tProgressive-Relapsing MS (PRMS) | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tSteady progression from the onset, with acute relapses. | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tSimilar strategies as SPMS and PPMS. | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tVaries, focuses on managing progression. | \n\t\t
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.\"
\n\nExperienced doctors that treat multiple sclerosis will quickly rule out the following:
\n\nFibromyalgia;
\n\tVitamin B12 deficiency;
\n\tMuscular dystrophy (MD);
\n\tAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease);
\n\tMigraine;
\n\tHypothyroidism;
\n\tHypertension;
\n\tBeçhet's disease;
\n\tArnold-Chiari deformity;
\n\tMitochondrial disorders.
\n\tMultiple 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:
\n\nGenetics. The risk is higher if someone in the family has MS.
\n\tInfections. Some viruses, like the Epstein-Barr virus, have been linked to MS.
\n\tGeography. MS is more common in areas farther from the equator, suggesting a connection to lower sunlight exposure and vitamin D levels.
\n\tGender. Women are two to three times more likely to develop MS than men.
\n\tMS symptoms vary greatly depending on which part of the nervous system is affected. Some common symptoms include:
\n\nFatigue doesn’t improve with rest.
\n\tNumbness or Tingling is often felt in the face, body, arms, or legs.
\n\tMuscle Weakness, which makes it difficult to walk or hold objects.
\n\tVision Problems, such as blurred or double vision, are common, especially during a flare-up.
\n\tDizziness and Balance Issues. Difficulty in maintaining balance or feeling lightheaded.
\n\tSome people also experience memory problems and depression due to the effects multiple sclerosis has on the brain.
\n\nAccording to the National MS Society, the risk of developing MS is higher for:
\n\nAges 20-40;
\n\tWomen (2-3 times more likely than men);
\n\tFamily history of MS;
\n\tLiving far from the equator (less sunlight/vitamin D);
\n\tViral infections like Epstein-Barr;
\n\tSmokers;
\n\tPeople with autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes.
\n\t![\"ms](\"https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/bookimed/_images_without_dir/66e7edbebcdd7.jpeg\")
These factors can increase the chance of developing MS but aren't a 100% guarantee of getting the disease.
\n\nDiagnosing MS can be challenging, as symptoms can mimic other conditions. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society advice several tests to confirm MS:
\n\nMRI scans are performed to see any brain or spinal cord lesions.
\n\tA lumbar puncture (Spinal Tap) checks the fluid around the brain and spinal cord.
\n\tEvoked Potentials Tests measure how quickly the brain responds to visual or electrical stimuli, helping detect nerve damage.
\n\tThere 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:
\n\n💊 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.
\n\t🏋🏻♀️ 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.
\n\t🏵 Corticosteroids. These drugs help reduce inflammation during flare-ups, speeding up recovery from an attack.
\n\t🩸 Plasma Exchange (Plasmapheresis) is used when other treatments don’t work. It removes harmful substances from the blood, helping control severe symptoms.
\n\t| Treatment Strategy | \n\t\t\tDescription | \n\t\t\tSuccess Rate | \n\t\t
\n\t\t\tDisease-Modifying Therapies (DMTs) | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tModulate or suppress immune response to prevent damage to the nervous system. | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tReduces relapse rates by 30-70% and slows progression in many patients. | \n\t\t
\n\t\t\tCorticosteroids | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tReduce inflammation quickly to manage acute MS flare-ups. | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEffective in reducing the duration and severity of relapses during acute flare-ups. | \n\t\t
\n\t\t\tSymptomatic Treatments | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tTarget and alleviate specific MS symptoms like spasticity and pain. | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEffective in managing specific symptoms, significantly improving quality of life. | \n\t\t
\n\t\t\tPhysical Therapy and Rehabilitation | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tUse exercises to enhance mobility, function, and manage day-to-day symptoms. | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tSignificantly aids in maintaining mobility and daily functioning, improving patients' quality of life. | \n\t\t
\n\t\t\tPlasma Exchange (Plasmapheresis) | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tRemove and replace blood plasma to eliminate harmful elements from the blood that impact MS symptoms. | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tImproves outcomes in about 40-45% of cases, particularly those unresponsive to other treatments. | \n\t\t
\n\t\t\tEmerging Therapies | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tInvestigate novel approaches like stem cell therapies and targeted immunotherapies. | \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tStill under research; early results show potential but require more extensive clinical trials to confirm efficacy. | \n\t\t
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.
\n\nHere are some common cognitive symptoms and their examples:
\n\nMemory 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.
\n\tDifficulty Focusing. A patient with MS might find it challenging to follow a conversation in a noisy room or stay focused on reading a book.
\n\tSlower 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.
\n\tProblem-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.
\n\tTrouble 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.

The main factors to consider when selecting a country for MS care include:
\n\nSpecialized Care. The\n\t\n\tbest hospitals for multiple sclerosis have available equipment and expertise to satisfy your treatment plan.
\n\tAdvanced Therapies. Consider countries that offer a wide range of treatment options, including disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), rehabilitation programs, and emerging therapies.
\n\tClinical Trials. Some countries may be more actively looking for new MS treatments that provide access to cutting-edge therapies.
\n\tCost and Insurance. Check if your insurance company will cover treatments for MS.
\n\tQuality of Life. Evaluate the overall quality of life in the chosen country, including cultural differences, language barriers, and accessibility.
\n\tThe best countries for treatment of multiple sclerosis are:
\n\nThese countries have the best multiple sclerosis centers in the world, offering state-of-the-art facilities, experienced neurologists specializing in MS, and access to regenerative medicine (including stem cell therapy).

\n\nStem 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.
\n\nOne 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.
\n\nStem 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.
\n\nMS 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.
\n\nFor 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.
\n\n\n\nThe 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\n\naverage cost of MS treatment:
\n\nTurkey: $15,000-$30,000 for similar services, including access to advanced therapies.
\n\tGermany: $30,000-$50,000 for high-end care and personalized treatment plans.
\n\tIsrael: $20,000-$40,000 for comprehensive care, including medications and rehabilitation.
\n\tRecent advancements in multiple sclerosis (MS) research and treatment include:
\n\nDisease-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.
\n\tStem 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.
\n\tBiomarkers 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.
\n\tGenetic Research. Ongoing research is uncovering genetic factors linked to MS, which may lead to personalized treatments tailored to individual genetic profiles.
\n\tNeuroprotective 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.
\n\tFinding doctors who specialize in multiple sclerosis is essential, as this condition requires specialized care. When selecting a doctor, consider:
\n\nExperience with MS. Choose a doctor with a track record of treating MS patients successfully.
\n\tAccess to the Latest Treatments. Specialists involved in research can offer newer, more effective treatments.
\n\tPatient Reviews. Look for positive feedback from other MS patients, which can give insight into the doctor’s communication and care quality.

Live-attenuated vaccines are contraindicated during active treatment due to safety risks.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Patients at Wiener Privatklinik benefit from protocols led by Dr. Fritz Leutmezer, President of the Austrian Multiple Sclerosis Society. His expertise ensures vaccination schedules align with the latest European MS treatment guidelines. This specialized oversight is critical for managing complex B-cell depleting therapies like Ocrevus (ocrelizumab).
Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize testing for Varicella-Zoster Virus and Hepatitis B immunity immediately. Many note that bringing complete vaccination records to the first neurology visit prevents treatment delays.

First-line injectables like Interferon-beta and Glatiramer acetate are generally considered safe. Standardized reproductive counseling at MS centers helps manage medication washouts and transition periods to ensure maternal and fetal safety.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Patient volume data highlights Vienna as the primary hub for complex MS care. Vienna General Hospital (AKH) serves 595,000 patients annually. Its neurologist, Dr. Fritz Leutmezer, is the President of the Austrian MS Society and co-authored the national treatment guidelines. Choosing a specialist who literally wrote the reproductive protocols ensures your washout plan aligns with the most recent safety data.
Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize the need for a personalized reproductive roadmap at every visit. Many suggest planning at least 6 months ahead for high-risk DMT transitions and preparing for quick medication restarts after weaning.

Facilities like Wiener Privatklinik offer multilingual environments. Dedicated coordinators manage medical visa documentation, record reviews, and cost estimates. Personal patient managers often bridge the language gap during infusions and recovery.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While large institutions like Vienna General Hospital (AKH) serve 595,000 patients annually, private clinics often provide more direct linguistic support. Wiener Privatklinik and Döbling Private Hospital maintain lower patient volumes to focus on one-on-one coordination. This structure ensures that international patients receive dedicated attention from the 400+ physicians available in these specialized centers.
Patient Consensus: Patients note that while some nurses use basic English, having a translation app or requesting an international coordinator early helps clarify detailed medical forms. Many find that follow-up care is much smoother when using video consultations or dedicated email support from the hospital's international office.
