The huge expansion of information available about MS, especially
through the Internet, has put the individual with MS in a position
to take increasing responsibility for her or his own care. There is
thus a need for a comprehensive, readily accessible guide to the
present therapeutic options, which will give the inquirer a
balanced guide to the relative effectiveness of individual
treatments. This book is designed to do just that.
This bestselling title is a unique compendium of the most
frequently used treatments for multiple sclerosis, an authoritative
reference for all physicians, and a factual guide for patients who
need information about therapies. This new edition has been
extensively revised both in content and format from previous
editions. Its organization into sections dealing with the treatment
of acute exacerbations, disease-modifying therapies, symptom
management, and alternative therapies makes the book much more
accessible to the reader.
The title has been changed from "Therapeutic Claims in Multiple
Sclerosis" to reflect the major restructuring of this edition and
to better describe the range and focus of the content.The authors
have included the original data underlying the conclusions reached
by the Therapeutic Claims Committee of the International Federation
of Multiple Sclerosis Societies, providing for a greater
understanding of how those conclusions were reached. The addition
of references at the end of each chapter will be especially useful
for physicians and other health care professionals, but will also
be of interest to those lay readers who want more detail about the
therapies discussed.
