Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system that can affect life, but with the right support and treatment it can be controlled in many cases. MS affects the central nervous system, which includes the brain and the spinal cord. The disease causes the immune system to mistakenly attack the protective myelin that surrounds the nerve fibres. This can lead to various symptoms, including muscle weakness, coordination problems and sensory changes such as visual disturbances.

The exact cause of MS is not yet fully understood, but there is evidence of a combination of hereditary and environmental factors. Diagnosis is made through neurological examinations, MRI scans, blood analyses and a lumbar puncture. MRI scans and other special tests are used to monitor the course of the disease.

There are many treatment options for MS, including medications to control symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. Physiotherapy, occupational therapy and lifestyle changes can improve quality of life. At Berner Neurologie, we specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of MS. We draw up individual treatment plans to control your symptoms and enhance your quality of life, and we administer intravenous therapies, from outpatient emergency treatment of relapses with cortisone through to monoclonal antibodies.
