Treatments for MS

Treatments are used to try to help control the symptoms of MS, to prevent attacks of MS and to delay the progression of the condition.

There have been many advances in the treatment options available to people with MS in recent years (ref nd9). There are more drugs available now than ever before. And much research is still being done.

However, it can be difficult to decide if and when to start treatment with drugs that aim to slow down the progression of MS. It can be useful to keep a detailed record of your symptoms and when you get them. This can help in discussions with your doctors about what treatment is right for you.
