What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?
Metropol Health Group specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is a chronic disease affecting the central nervous system. As a result of damage to the myelin sheath protecting nerve cells, nerve conduction is impaired and neurological symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue and loss of balance occur.
How Does the MS Diagnosis Process Progress?
Diagnosis of MS is carried out by Metropol Health Group’s experienced specialists and advanced technological diagnostic systems. The following methods are used in the diagnostic process:
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Used to detect lesions in the brain and spinal cord.
- Lumbar Puncture: Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid to look for biological indicators of MS.
- Neurological Tests: The functions of the nervous system are evaluated in detail.
Once a diagnosis is made, individualized treatment plans are created according to the course of the disease.
