Treatments and therapies

There's no cure for MS, but there are different ways to manage it.

This might include drug treatments for individual symptoms or relapses, diet, exercise and complementary and alternative therapies. 

Disease modifying treatments

Disease modifying drugs are not a cure for MS, but they can reduce the frequency and severity of relapses. If you experience relapses the drugs may help, but unfortunately they're not effective for primary progressive MS.
