Abstract

Multiples sclerosis and its increasing medical and physical dependency due to clinical progression makes the daily care for patients with multiple sclerosis more and more difficult and demanding. Controlling by and attending the family doctor or even a neurologists is difficult due to often increased physical disability and cognitive decline. Therefore, special educated nurses become more and more demanding. Detailed knowledge should be transferred via special medical courses. Basic knowledge in different medications and side effects, basic MRI Knowledge, health controlling and cognitive decline will be demonstrated in the talk, possibly in additional short courses. The talk will give an overview of medical side effects, basic MRI knowledge with technical and anatomic/pathological features and will give introductions to ongoing physical and cognitive controlling and teaching possibilities. Facts are open for discussion
