[The application of high-frequency and iTBS transcranial magnetic stimulation for the treatment of spasticity in the patients presenting with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis].

Unlabelled: Spasticity is considered to be a common manifestation of multiple sclerosis. Muscle relaxants are not sufficiently effective; more than that, some of them often cause a variety of adverse reactions. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be a promising new tool for the treatment of spasticity.

Experience in the use of high-frequency selective percutaneous rhizotomy in trigeminal neuralgia associated with multiple sclerosis.

Objective: the study was aimed at assessment of the efficacy of percutaneous high frequency selective rhizotomy (PHFSR) after failure of conservative treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) in multiple sclerosis (MS).

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis of 28 patients with TN associated with MS who underwent percutaneous rhizotomy in the period from 2000 to 2014 was performed. All patients were definitely diagnosed with MS according to the McDonald criteria (version of 2001, 2005, and 2010).

[Atrophy of the central nervous system in multiple sclerosis: MRI-morphometry results].

Nowadays the majority of multiple sclerosis (MS) research pays attention to the neurodegenerative component, using a magnetic resonance imaging voxel-based morphometry for its assessment. Cerebral atrophy occurs in the earliest stages of MS in different clinical phenotypes and progresses three times faster than in healthy individuals. WM atrophy involved almost all brain regions, but is less pronounced than GM loss.

[No support for the hypothesis of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency in multiple sclerosis].

Objective. To evaluate the jugular veins (IJV) using duplex sonography in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Material and methods.
