OK its not Dr Beat its ProfK.
They “argue that despite significant advances in MS immunotherapy, and framework ideas to prevent the disease altogether, MS clinicians, let alone the general neurology community, regularly fails to make effective use of secondary preventive strategies. Clinical practice remains conservative. Many patients start treatment months—or even years—after diagnosis, guided by the long-standing assumption that MS is a chronic disease for which time is not a critical factor”
“Acute stroke is rightly treated as a neurological emergency, and “time is brain” has become the guiding principle of stroke management. Should a similar principle apply in MS?”
“Clinicians rarely hesitate to administer corticosteroids for acute MS relapses. However, evidence suggests it is time to adopt an urgent AND targeted treatment approach right from disease onset, managing MS as an acute condition. This represents a step change: thinking of every new MS lesion as a “stroke of demyelination””.
“If time truly matters, delaying effective intervention can no longer be acceptable. “Treating MS early” should enter a new level – soon we will find out whether even days count”.
