Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) are the primary intervention to prevent new lesions and slow MS progression, with options including beta interferon drugs, infusions, and oral medications. For acute relapses, corticosteroids (such as methylprednisolone) are used to quickly reduce inflammation and speed recovery.
Symptomatic management and rehabilitation are essential for addressing the specific functional deficits caused by brainstem lesions. This includes:
Swallowing therapy and assessments to manage dysphagia and prevent choking or aspiration.
Physical and occupational therapy to optimize motor strength, coordination, and balance.
Corrective lenses or eye patches to manage diplopia (double vision).
Hearing aids for hearing impairment, tinnitus, or noise intolerance.
