Introduction
Understanding Demyelinating Disorders
Demyelinating disorders are characterized by damage to the myelin sheath, a protective covering that surrounds nerve fibers in the central and peripheral nervous systems. This damage disrupts the transmission of nerve signals, leading to a range of neurological symptoms.
Types of Demyelinating Disorders
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS) : MS is one of the most common demyelinating disorders, affecting the brain and spinal cord. It can cause a wide variety of symptoms, including fatigue, weakness, numbness, vision problems, and difficulties with coordination and balance.
- Optic Neuritis : This condition involves inflammation of the optic nerve, leading to vision loss and pain, often exacerbated by eye movement.
- Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) : NMOSD primarily affects the optic nerves and spinal cord, leading to symptoms such as optic neuritis, transverse myelitis, and in some cases, brain inflammation.
- Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) : ADEM is characterized by widespread inflammation in the brain and spinal cord, typically following a viral infection or vaccination. It can cause symptoms such as fever, headache, confusion, and weakness.
Treatment Options at Neuro Foundation
Our state-of-the-art facility offers a range of treatment options to effectively manage demyelinating disorders and improve patients’ quality of life. These may include:
- Immunoglobulins (IVIG) : IVIG therapy involves the administration of antibodies derived from healthy donors to modulate the immune response and reduce inflammation.
- Plasmapheresis : This procedure involves filtering and removing plasma from the blood to remove harmful antibodies and other inflammatory factors.
- Rituximab and Other Immuno-Modulators : These medications target specific components of the immune system to suppress inflammation and reduce disease activity.
- Comprehensive Monitoring and Support : Our team provides ongoing monitoring and support to ensure that patients receive personalized care tailored to their individual needs. This may include regular check-ups, symptom management, and adjustments to treatment plans as needed.
