Journal Title: Postępy Nauk Medycznych - Year 2013, Vol 26, Issue 10
Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is autoimmunological disorders of central nerves system (cns). Results of damage in cns cause by disease are serious deficits in different fields of human activities, also mental and in the end very heavy disability of people suffer from disease. We focus in treatment, especially in relapsing – remitting form of MS, on the protection of axon damage which causes progress of disease and disability, and finally life shortens in effect of disease. Currently we observe very rapid progress thanks of new discoveries of factors playing important role in mechanism of disease and development of pharmacology created new products able to modifying pathological activity of immunological system in cns. These medicines affect on different levels of pathological processes, within equal cns as well as besides it. This progress includes creation of new forceful medicines not only more effectivness, but it includes new, oral forms of medicines that makes considerable correction of comfort of treatment. Diversity of new medicine allows to employ principle of personation of treatment more forcefully. Additonally we can many times select and modify treatment depending on efficiency. Unfortunately we observed the major progress in the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and in contrast we still have problems in treatment of primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). All clinical trials have failed and there is limited evidence of their efficacy in secondary progressive disease.
