Multiple Sclerosis is thought to affect 2.9 million people worldwide and is at least 2 to 3 times more common in women than in men. The impact of MS on one's health and quality of life can be enormous. Though there is currently no cure for MS, there are many treatments available that can slow the progression of the disease and ease its symptoms. We have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating multiple sclerosis and are committed to making sure you receive the care you need.
The Multiple Sclerosis Clinic of Central Texas at CTNC is the most comprehensive MS clinic in Central Texas. We offer comprehensive, coordinated care to diagnose and manage the disease while promoting comfort, function, independence, health and wellness. We also are on the forefront of clinical trials in the development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of MS.
Dr. Parisa Khosravi is a fellowship-trained neurologist specializing in multiple sclerosis and neuroimmunology. Dr. Khosravi has a special interest in treating MS and is dedicated to patient education, collaborative decision-making, and delivering personalized care that supports each individual’s unique journey with MS. She is a recipient of the National MS Society Clinical Care Physician Fellowship, has presented at national conferences such as the ACTRIMS Young Scientist Summit and has led several quality improvement initiatives in neurology care.
This place is the best. Dr. Couch listens patiently, is empathetic, and is the first doctor to help me find a treatment that works. He also understood my hesitation to keep trying new medications after so many have let me down. He gently suggested my treatment a year ago and talked through my concerns until I felt confident. Thanks to CTNC, my quality of life has improved drastically. I recommend you stop searching and visit this clinic right away.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective coating around nerve fibers, called myelin, in the brain and spinal cord. Myelin plays a crucial role in allowing nerve signals to travel smoothly and efficiently. When MS damages this protective layer, it disrupts communication between the brain and the rest of the body, leading to a wide range of unpredictable and potentially disabling symptoms. These may include muscle weakness, coordination and balance issues, vision problems, numbness, fatigue, and cognitive difficulties. The severity and progression of MS vary from person to person, making early diagnosis and proper management essential for maintaining quality of life.
At CTNC’s Neurology, our providers have been recognized by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society as Partners in MS Care for their expertise in treating patients with MS.
Currently, there is no cure for Multiple Sclerosis (MS), but there are several effective treatment options to help manage the disease. Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) can improve function after an attack, reduce the frequency of new attacks, and slow the progression of disability.
Some of the most notable treatments include:
Oral Dimethyl Fumarate (Tecfidera®)
Injected Beta Interferons (such as Avonex® and Plegridy®)
Infused Natalizumab (Tysabri®)
Infused Alemtuzumab (Lemtrada®)
At CTNC’s Neurology, we also administer high-dose corticosteroids to help manage and treat MS attacks. Alongside these treatments, physical therapy and counseling play vital roles in managing symptoms and improving overall quality of life for individuals living with MS. These therapies work together to provide a comprehensive approach to care and support.
Our experienced staff is dedicated to helping you access patient assistance programs to ensure you receive the care and treatment you need, making healthcare more affordable and accessible. We’re here to guide you through the process and connect you with the resources that can support your treatment journey.
