2) What else should I know?
Various treatments exist to help multiple sclerosis patients manage their symptoms with varying degrees of success. One such treatment is physiotherapy for multiple sclerosis patients (PTMS). PTMS may be beneficial in managing some MS symptoms. Still, more research is needed before this specific therapy can be recommended as standard care for multiple sclerosis patients overall. What does this mean? The next step would involve more clinical trials on PTMS. Hence, doctors have enough evidence to recommend it as standard care for all people living with multiple sclerosis.
