Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Treatment in Pune – Solace Neuro Clinic (Dr. Sumit Babasaheb Kharat)
At Solace Neuro Clinic, Katraj, Pune, neurologist Dr. Sumit Babasaheb Kharat provides expert evaluation and long-term management for MS and other autoimmune neurological disorders with a compassionate, evidence-based approach.
What Is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?
MS occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering (myelin) of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. This damages communication between the brain and body, leading to long-term neurological challenges.
Types of Multiple Sclerosis
- Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS) – Episodes of symptoms followed by recovery
- Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS) – Symptoms gradually worsen over time
- Primary Progressive MS (PPMS) – Steady decline from the beginning, without relapses
- Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS) – First episode that may develop into MS
Identifying the right type helps plan the most effective treatment strategy.
Common Symptoms of MS
Symptoms can vary widely from person to person. In many Pune patients, MS symptoms are often confused with weakness or stress. Early neurological screening helps in timely intervention.
Neurological Symptoms
- Numbness or tingling in limbs
- Vision problems (blurred or double vision)
- Muscle weakness
- Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
- Fatigue
- Tremors or coordination issues
Other Symptoms
- Bladder or bowel disturbances

If you are noticing any of these symptoms, schedule a neurological evaluation at Solace Neuro Clinic.
