Multiple
Sclerosis and Demyelinating Diseases
In
the multiple sclerosis (MS) clinic, physicians take
a multidisciplinary approach to patient care while emphasizing
the personal relationship with the patient and family
support. To manage the multiple health issues patients
face, neurologists work with urologists, physical therapists,
occupational therapists, ophthalmologists, psychiatrists
and social workers as needed. Technologies used for
diagnosis may include evoked potentials, MRI and MRI
spectroscopy.
Treatment
aims to slow the disease progression. Physicians are
actively engaged in testing new medications for MS,
so patients may have opportunities to participate in
clinical trials. Nurses are readily accessible to patients
to help them understand the disease and address questions
and concerns. Loyola University Health System’s
(Loyola) clinic is recognized by the local MS society
chapter and receives numerous referrals from that organization.
