多发性硬化症和自身免疫神经病学 概述

多发性硬化症或相关状况患者可从多发性硬化和自身免疫神经内科的神经内科医生的先进诊断和治疗专业技能中受益。我们的多发性硬化症医护团队每年帮助数千例成人和儿童患者。妙佑医疗国际明尼苏达州罗切斯特院区设有专业的小儿多发性硬化症中心。

多发性硬化症简称 MS,是免疫系统攻击脑和脊髓神经周围的覆盖层时出现的疾病。这一覆盖层被称为髓鞘。这些神经将信息从脑和脊髓传送到身体的其他神经,而髓磷脂有助于提高这一传递的效率。多发性硬化症和其他严重状况会导致髓磷脂损伤。因此将其称为脱髓鞘性病变。

您的医护团队

神经内科医生可召集多专科团队,其中可能包括物理医学和康复科专家、泌尿科医生、精神科医生和神经眼科医生等。该团队会听取您的意愿,确保您获得所需护理。

由于多发性硬化和相关状况的症状可能累及多个身体系统并导致无力、行走问题、肌肉僵硬和膀胱问题,因此患者可受益于这种根据患者需求定制的基于团队的治疗方法。我们的护理团队可以在多发性硬化相关健康问题方面为您提供帮助。

病症

改善临床护理的研究进展

长期以来,我们的临床医学科学家和其他研究人员一直在率先推动对 MS 和其他脱髓鞘性病变的了解和治疗方面。他们积极开展临床研究、实验室研究和临床试验,以研究病因、遗传学、疾病进展和可能的新治疗。

多发性硬化和自身免疫神经病学中心的工作人员对 MS 和其他相关状况进行研究。

Why choose Mayo Clinic for multiple sclerosis care

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[Sean J. Pittock, M.D., Chair, Department of Neurology]

Mayo Clinic has a very long tradition of providing excellent care for patients with multiple sclerosis. In fact, we were very much involved in some of the very early research that was done in the disease, but we've also been leading the field, in terms of practice, in terms of providing care for patients.

[Eoin P. Flanagan, M.B., B.Ch., Neurologist]

We see about 3,500 patients a year, and we have great expertise in ensuring that we have the correct diagnosis and we know which treatment is best for which patient. So I think coming here and getting that treatment correct at the start is very important.

[Dr. Pittock] Patients that come to the Mayo Clinic become part of the answer in terms of the research that's going on at the Mayo Clinic, because the Mayo Clinic has the largest biorepository of MS and autoimmune neurological disorders in the world.

[Dr. Flanagan] There are many patients out there who come to Mayo Clinic and Mayo Clinic is their last hope.

We can really control MS much better than we used to be able to.

[Dr. Pittock] Well I think the future is bright.

We've made dramatic advances.

We now have drugs that reduce the chances of a clinical relapse by 98.5%.

That's pretty amazing.

[Dr. Flanagan] We know that multiple sclerosis can affect a lot of parts of the nervous system ranging from vision, to walking to bladder, stiffness, cognition.

We can measure nerve damage.

We can treat things like muscle stiffness or spasticity.

Mayo Clinic can offer a lot for patients in new diagnosis, but also in patients with an established diagnosis, maybe with some damage that we can ensure that we can manage all of those symptoms excellently. And that's where our multidisciplinary care really is a distinguisher for us.

[Dr. Pittock] You don't just see a neurologist, you see a multitude of different individuals, all of whom have specialty experience within the care of multiple sclerosis patients.

[Dr. Flanagan] It's the neurologist talking to the physical medicine rehab team, talking to the ophthalmologist, talking to the urologist to come up with the best plan for the patient.

[Dr. Pittock] We're working with physiatrists.

We're working with people that work in bio-electronics to try and develop approaches that we can use to not only stopping the progression of the disease, but restoring function.
