There is no cure for MS. But here's information about treatment options that may help alleviate symptoms, provided by the U.S. National Library of Medicine:
- Drugs to help control the immune system, including interferons (Avonex, Betaseron or Rebif), monoclonal antibodies (Tysabri), and glatiramer acetate (Copaxone).
- Steroids to minimize damage caused when the immune system attacks the nervous system.
- Medications to decrease the incidence of muscle spasms.
- Antidepressants.
- Physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy.
- A regular exercise program, especially when begun just after diagnosis.
