Lifestyle Modifications
To optimize physical and mental well-being, manage symptoms, and maintain independence in daily life.
- Fatigue management strategies, including energy conservation techniques and rest planning.
- Regular physiotherapy and targeted exercises to improve mobility, reduce muscle pain, and manage spasticity.
- Occupational therapy for adaptive strategies, mobility aids (e.g., walking sticks, wheelchairs), and home modifications to support daily activities.
- Cognitive rehabilitation and mental exercises to enhance memory, concentration, and cognitive function.
- Stress management techniques, including mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), to address anxiety, depression, and fatigue.

Medicinal Treatment
To suppress immune system attacks, reduce inflammation, manage symptoms, and slow the progression of MS.
- Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) to reduce the frequency and severity of relapses and slow disease progression.
- Corticosteroids (e.g., methylprednisolone) for acute relapses to reduce inflammation and speed recovery.
- Muscle relaxants (e.g., baclofen, tizanidine) to alleviate muscle spasms, cramps, and stiffness.
- Medications for specific symptoms such as pain, bladder dysfunction, fatigue, and vision problems.
- Biological medicines, including monoclonal antibodies, for patients who do not respond to conventional DMTs.

Surgical Treatment
To alleviate severe, refractory symptoms and complications of MS that are not adequately managed by conservative or medicinal treatments.
- Intrathecal baclofen pump implantation for severe, intractable spasticity that does not respond to oral medications.
- Botulinum toxin injections for focal spasticity or dystonia in specific muscle groups.
- Interventional pain management procedures, such as nerve blocks or radiofrequency ablation, for chronic neuropathic pain.
- Urological procedures for severe bladder dysfunction, such as sacral neuromodulation or urinary diversion, in select cases.
- Orthopedic surgeries to correct severe contractures or deformities resulting from prolonged spasticity (rare).
