A successful application of information technologies in the treatment of multiple sclerosis: a case report
Abstract
Background: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease of the central nervous system characterized by inflammation, neurodegeneration, and failure of the central nervous system's repair mechanisms. The role of infectious agents against the background of genetic predisposition is currently considered a possible pathogenesis factor of this disease.
Case presentation: We report the case of a 52-year-old white (Russian) female musician with 15-year history of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis who had repeatedly received conventional therapy without much benefit. In 2017, she was admitted to the outpatient department of the Institute of Virology, where she was treated with erythromycin and acyclovir (tablet forms), which were not applied in the traditional way but through the "device for transfer of information from the drug to the human body." The received effect led to suppression of the disease activity, a significant reduction in the symptoms of the disease, prevention of further increase in neurological manifestations of the disease, and improvement in the dynamics of the manifestation of the disease according to brain magnetic resonance imaging.
Conclusion: The described case report is innovative and presents for the first time the results of a noninvasive approach to the treatment of a patient with multiple sclerosis in whom information about various medications was introduced into different parts of the body, including the brain. The results obtained may indicate a…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
