Abstract
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease involving demyelination of the central nervous system. Medication management in MS is a vital step in preventing further disease progression. OBJECTIVE: This article presents healthcare providers with an aide-mémoire in the form of a mnemonic to assist in the medication management of MS. METHODS: We explored recent guidelines, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials using PubMed, MEDLINE, and CINAHL to analyze the role and efficacy of pharmacotherapy in relapse prevention of MS. CONCLUSION: It is crucial to consider the classifications of MS and its pathophysiology to determine which medication produces the best results. Our proposed mnemonic can support a clinician's recall ability and assist in identifying the respective MS medication.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Neuroscience Nursing (JNN), the official journal of the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses, contains original articles on advances in neurosurgical and neurological techniques as they affect nursing care, theory and research, as well as commentary on the roles of the neuroscience nurse in the health care team.
The journal provides information to nurses and health care professionals working in diverse areas of neuroscience patient care such as multi-specialty and neuroscience intensive care units, general neuroscience units, combination units (neuro/ortho, neuromuscular/rehabilitation, neuropsychiatry, neurogerontology), rehabilitation units, medical-surgical units, pediatric units, emergency and trauma departments, and surgery. The information is applicable to professionals working in clinical, research, administrative, and educational settings.
