Given that multiple sclerosis (MS) is prevalent in young adults between the ages of 20 and 40, the need for treatment of visual and motor dysfunction has become more urgent for both the patients themselves and their families. As mentioned earlier, MS is characterized by a temporal and spatial “multiplicity” of symptoms and signs, and because it is difficult to predict where the next lesion will be located and what the next set of symptoms will be, almost all of today’s treatments are remedial measures to put out fires after the fact. One must ask, aren’t there any preventive and curative means for MS? Logic dictates that in order to prevent or control the occurrence of any disease or thing one must first know what it is. For example, when we learn that excessive daily salt intake is one of the causative mechanisms for certain hypertensive patients, then we are able to prevent the continual deterioration of their blood pressure or even reverse their hypertensive state by severely restricting their salt intake. Since the etiology and pathogenesis of MS are still unknown, it is extremely difficult to intervene even if genetic factors, viral infections, and geographic climate are known to be involved. However, it is an indisputable fact that MS is an autoimmune disorder, and if the already out-of-control immune response is brought back to a balanced state, its activity can certainly be greatly reduced, even if it cannot be eradicated from the root cause. Recently researchers at the University of Toronto interviewed 108 children (31 with MS and 79 who had experienced a separate neuroinflammatory event) about their levels of fatigue and depression, as well as their frequency of exercise, and 60 children underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans to determine brain volume and the number and type of MS lesions. The results found that children with MS who participated in regular physical activity had a lower amount of brain lesions (also known as T2 lesions, which are often indicative of disease activity) and had half the annual recurrence rate of children with MS who lacked physical activity. Although, as the authors state, this finding “does not establish a causal relationship between physical activity and MS activity,” it cannot be ruled out that an active lifestyle reduces brain lesion activity and the frequency of clinical recurrence by improving the immune status of children with MS. More clinical controlled studies at home and abroad also support that moderate rehabilitation training can significantly improve the motor function status and quality of life of adult MS patients, as well as alleviate psycho-behavioral symptoms and reduce the relapse rate. Generally speaking, the treatment of MS is divided into two periods: acute exacerbation and remission. In the acute exacerbation period, the overactive autoimmune response in the central nervous system is suppressed by corticosteroids, high-dose immunoglobulin intravenous infusion, and plasma exchange to achieve rapid symptom control; in the remission period, the clinical symptoms of MS subside but the neuropathology is not cured, and immunomodulatory therapy is usually used to reduce relapses and delay the course of the disease. Commonly used treatments in this period include interferon beta, synthetic myelin basic protein (MBP), and immunosuppressive agents (e.g., cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, etc.). References for assessing treatment efficacy should include (quantitative) MR imaging evidence of brain lesions in addition to changes in clinical symptoms (in addition to traditional white matter lesions, cortical lesions have recently been recognized as useful markers for assessing disease progression in MS). In 2014 the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) published guidelines for cannabis-based medications and complementary and alternative therapies (CAM) for the treatment of MS. According to the guideline, which compares reported approaches based on evidence-based medicine evidence, oral cannabis (cannabis) extracts, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and cannabinoid sprays may help alleviate muscle spasms and pain in patients with MS; magnetic therapy, along with ginkgo biloba preparations, can help improve symptoms of fatigue; and plantar massage can alleviate sensory abnormalities. The guideline also rejects the efficacy of bee venom therapy and a low-fat diet with omega-3 supplements for MS. Both national and international guidelines for the treatment of MS have consistently fully recognized the importance of exercise and physical factor therapy for patients with MS and are appropriate for MS patients of any type, at any stage of the disease, at any age, and especially in the presence of movement disorders. During acute relapses, fatigue symptoms are often very pronounced in adult patients, and adequate bed rest should be ensured to avoid overexertion. However, fatigue symptoms are often less severe in pediatric patients, and moderate exercise should still be encouraged. For patients with no voluntary movement at all, the functional position should be maintained, and regular massage and passive movement should be performed to prevent spastic paraplegia and joint contracture deformity. For patients who have some voluntary movement ability, push and massage of the affected limbs can be increased, and patients are encouraged to move their limbs more to give full play to the restored muscle strength and promote the recovery of limb function. For patients who can move independently but still have muscle resistance, patients should be encouraged to actively carry out active sports as long as their physical strength permits, gradually increase the amount of activity, and carry out a variety of daily life ability training in a timely manner, so that patients can return to society as soon as possible. At the same time, air pressure wave therapy (by squeezing the muscles to improve circulation and reduce venous thrombosis), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (by direct electrical stimulation to induce contraction of paralyzed muscles, slowing down the progress of muscle atrophy), as well as magnetic therapy, heat therapy, hydrotherapy, and other means can help to alleviate the patient’s symptoms and reduce the occurrence of complications. It is important to note that all available rehabilitation therapies can only improve the symptoms and prognosis of MS, but do not have a significant impact on the overall progression of the disease, and therefore should never be used in isolation from pharmacologic therapy.
