ABSTRACT

Multiple sclerosis has become an ever-increasing challenge to neurologists. With the release of the latest medications on the market, Brazilian neurologists feel divided between following their patients’ evolution in accordance with the strict rules established by the Brazilian Ministry of Health regarding drug distribution, or following disease progression and worsening in accordance with the evidence in the literature. Therefore, a systematic review of the main published treatment guidelines was conducted and an escalating therapy proposed for guiding multiple sclerosis patient treatment in Brazil.

RESUMO

A esclerose múltipla vem se tornando um desafio crescente para os neurologistas. Com o lançamento de novos medicamentos no mercado, os neurologistas brasileiros se encontram divididos entre, apesar da evolução dos seus pacientes, seguir as regras restritas estabelecidas pelo Ministério da Saúde para distribuição de medicamentos, ou ao contrário, considerar a progressão e piora da doença, em concordância com as evidências da literatura. Devido a este impasse foi realizada uma revisão sistemática sobre as principais orientações de tratamento publicadas e foi proposto um escalonamento terapêutico para orientar o tratamento dos pacientes com esclerose múltipla no Brasil.
