The link below provides a detailed list of medications used to treat the many, varied symptoms associated with MS. No known medication "cures" MS, and other treatments serve to reduce or relieve symptoms.
The compiler of this list makes a disclaimer:
"The list is by no means complete and new treatments are being researched and coming into use all the time. It should be emphasised that none of these drugs are a "cure" for either MS nor for any of its symptoms. The only medications available at the moment either slow down the course of the disease at best or are palliative on its symptoms."
Other informative pages on this website deal with:
- medications specifically addressing demyelination and control of relapses
- steroids, and
- some of the ways that MS affects people's lives.
Other treatments that may be helpful, according to the Mayo Clinic, include:
- Physical and occupational therapy
- Counseling
- Plasma exchange (plasmapheresis)
