Multiple Sclerosis & Demyelinating Disease Treatment in New Delhi

Expert diagnosis and personalized treatment by a DrNB Neurology specialist.

Overview

Multiple sclerosis (MS) and related demyelinating diseases affect the protective covering of nerves in the brain and spinal cord, causing episodes of weakness, numbness, vision changes or balance problems that may come and go or progress over time.

Early diagnosis with MRI and specialist assessment allows disease-modifying therapy to begin when appropriate, reducing relapses and protecting long-term function. Other demyelinating conditions such as neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) need distinct treatment and are carefully distinguished from MS.

Symptoms

Numbness or tingling in limbs or face
Weakness of arm or leg
Blurred or painful vision in one eye
Double vision or eye movement difficulty
Balance problems or vertigo
Fatigue disproportionate to activity
Bladder urgency or difficulty
Cognitive slowing or brain fog

Causes

Immune-Mediated Damage

The immune system attacks myelin — the insulation around nerve fibres.

Genetic Susceptibility

Family history increases risk, though MS is not directly inherited.

Environmental Factors

Low vitamin D, smoking and certain infections may contribute.

Relapsing-Remitting MS

The commonest pattern — clear attacks followed by partial or full recovery.

Progressive Forms

Gradual worsening with or without superimposed relapses.

Related Disorders

NMOSD, MOG-antibody disease and ADEM require specific diagnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Diagnosis combines clinical history, neurological examination, brain and spinal MRI, and sometimes lumbar puncture and blood tests to exclude mimics.

There is no cure yet, but modern disease-modifying therapies greatly reduce relapses and slow disability in many patients.

Prognosis varies widely. Early treatment and healthy lifestyle improve outcomes; many patients remain fully mobile for decades.

No. Neuromyelitis optica is a distinct demyelinating disorder with different antibodies and treatments — accurate testing is essential.
