Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is chronic auto immune
disorder - of the central nervous system – incurable.
The brain, spinal cord and optic nerves can be affected.
The cause of MS is not known, although genetic and
environmental factors are involved.
Leading cause for neuro-debility among young adults
worldwide.
Hawkes CH, Macgregor AJ Mult Scler. 2009 Jun; 15(6):661-73
Prevalence
GBD 2016 Multiple Sclerosis Collaborators;, Prevalence and patterns of demyelinating central nervous system disorders in urban Mangalore, South India. Pandit L, Kundapur
R Mult Scler. 2014 Oct; 20(12):1651-3. Multiple sclerosis is prevalent in the Zoroastrians (Parsis) of India.WadiaNH, Bhatia K Ann Neurol. 1990 Aug; 28(2):177-9.
2.1 million people world wide
Canada has highest number of
MS patients in the world
USA and UK, the frequency is
about 90 to 150/100,000
Prevalence in India 8/100,000
Parsi populace 21/100,000
Mangalore 8/100,000

Causes and Risk factors

Multiple Sclerosis
6
Protection, support, speed
of conduction of nerve impulse
Loss of myelin, Neuronal loss, impaired
conduction of nerve impulse
Clinical Manifestations
Sleep deprivation
Uhthoff ’s sign
Increase in temperature
eg.Visual blurring after exercise
L’Hermitte’s sign
Electrical sensations run down
the legs when the patient
bends her head forward
‘MS Hug’ - tightening around
the chest

Patterns of MS
8
Clearly defined attacks + periods of partial or
complete recovery
Steadily worsening
neurologic function from
the beginning with
occasional relapses
Worsening from the onset of symptoms, without early relapses or
remissions
RRMS - progressive worsening of
disability over time w/o attacks
Treatment for MS
Pharmacological treatment – Disease modifying drugs for RRMS
Steroids –
Glatiramer acetate
Interferon β
Natalizumab
Fingolimod
Dimethyl fumarate
Teriflunomide
Non-pharmacological treatment
Physiotherapy
Ergotherapy
Cognitive behaviour therapy
Sociotherapy
Psychotherapy etc.
(Eleonora Tavazzi,2014)
Maintenance – prevention
of frequency of relapse
Acute conditions (relapse)

Role of Yoga in MS
10
57.1% - one CAM;
70.2% - three or more CAM therapies
Sherria AO,2019
Probable mechanism of Yoga in MS
Immune System
Alteration in Cytokines
• Yoga - partial role of reducing
proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, interleukin-2, C-reactive
protein
Nervous System
Alteration in Neurotransmitters
Endocrine system Alteration in hormones
•Yoga - lowers cortisol –
decrease - perceived stress,
anxiety, improves pain and
increase the feeling of well-
being,
11
Balance in Neurotransmitters -
cognitive and physiological
functionalities – through Yoga and
Meditation

Future direction
Reasons for individual differences in response to therapies.
Programs tailored to the needs of people with MS that are scalable to
accommodate different levels and types of disability.
Studies with individualized yoga programme (IYP) in future.
Understand the unique and changing needs of patients - which components
of the program is effective - explored.
Collaborative research - CAM practitioners - academic researchers –
NEED OF THE HOUR
Andrew F. Long,2018; Evan T. Cohen,201620
Considerations
The site must be accessible - parking close by - student should not get
fatigued.
The bathroom must be readily accessible.
The site should have air conditioning/adequately cooling ventilation.
Heat can be debilitating for many with MS – approximate temperature to
be maintained 23 - 26 °C.
