Abstract

The work addresses multiple sclerosis (MS) as a complex disease of the central nervous system, discussing the interaction between inflammatory processes, demyelination, and neuroaxonal degeneration. It emphasizes the importance of immune cells in penetrating the blood-brain barrier and forming demyelinating lesions. While treatments for the relapsing form of MS are effective, options for the non-relapsing progressive form are limited. Through a meticulous review of the literature, various therapeutic approaches are presented, including natural substances, modification of the intestinal microbiome, rehabilitation therapy, and new pharmacological therapies such as BTK inhibitors and ocrelizumab. Challenges such as managing fatigue, treating patients with concomitant diseases and the elderly, as well as issues related to reproductive health, are highlighted. The study underscores the need for a multidisciplinary and personalized approach, recognizing the complexity of MS and the ongoing importance of research to improve outcomes and quality of life for patients.
