Abstract

The treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) is directed toward improving each patient's quality of life, primarily by impeding illness progression and by promoting wellness. Treatments are distinguished by the time horizon of expected efficacy: disease-modifying therapy aims to minimize disability in the future, and symptom management aims to maximize function in the present. This chapter reviews the management of 11 common or important symptoms: gait dysfunction, spasticity, fatigue, visual impairment, tremor, cognitive impairment, emotional disorders, pain, bowel/bladder dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, and dysphagia/dysarthria.
