Multiple Sclerosis for the Practicing Neurologist (Paperback)

The Multiple Sclerosis International Foundation estimates that over 2.5 million people worldwide have multiple sclerosis. Multiple Sclerosis for the Practicing Neurologist is the first volume to address the issues faced by neurologists with limited resources who must deliver care to MS patients. This volume gives concise, useful clinical information for practicing neurologists, providing a straightforward overview of each topic and including many representative case studies. Drs. Oger and Al-Araji effectively demonstrate that a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis is possible and acceptable without expensive tests and equipment, such as MRIs. In parallel, treatment options that avoid costly disease-modifying drugs have been stressed throughout. Topics covered include: # Diagnosis and diagnostic tests # Symptom management and immunotherapy # Multiple sclerosis rating scales # Clinical trials in multiple sclerosis
