- Abstract
- (en) [Multiple sclerosis: Disease-modifying treatments, symptomatic treatments, and the general practitioner's role in patient follow-up] Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease affecting the young adult. For relapsing-remitting MS patients, an increasing number of disease-modifying treatments are currently available, each with its specific mode of action, side-effects, and follow-up modalities. Treatment algorithms are increasingly complex and require expertise. The disability resulting from MS symptoms profoundly affects the patients' quality of life. As a result, symptomatic treatment is an integral part in MS care, involving appropriate multidisciplinary management, while taking into account patients' expectations and autonomy.
