People who are newly diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis or who experience
a worsening of symptoms may require a relatively brief, inpatient rehabilitation
visit. Most patients are treated with a short course of intravenous
corticosteroids followed by another steroidal medication taken orally
which is gradually reduced. Anti-spasticity treatment may consist
of medication and targeted therapies. Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
are also assigned to one of the treatment teams on the Neuro-Rehabilitation
Service and fully participate in all of the therapies offered. In
addition, special therapy groups for patients with Multiple Sclerosis
are offered on such topics as Energy Conservation, Stress Management,
and Compensatory Techniques and Equipment.
