Multiple Sklerose und andere Autoimmunerkrankungen – Von der Diagnose bis zu modernen Therapien, die Hoffnung schenken

Around 270,000 people in Germany live with a diagnosis that changes their lives from one day to the next: Multiple Sclerosis (MS). A chronic disease in which the patient's own immune system becomes an attacker - silent, unpredictable, often in the prime of life.

What exactly happens in the nervous system, how modern medicine intervenes at an early stage and which research results offer real hope - Prof. Dr. med. Volker Limmroth, Chief Physician of Neurology at the Cologne City Clinics, will talk about this on August 27 at 7.30 pm in the Cologne Cathedral Forum.

The renowned neurologist will not only shed light on the basics of the disease, but also show how precise diagnostics today help to detect MS and other autoimmune diseases earlier and treat them more specifically. He explains why consistent early therapy is crucial, which integrated care concepts enable those affected to lead a self-determined life - and which recent scientific breakthroughs point the way forward.

The evening will be moderated by Claudia Lehnen, chief reporter at the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger and is aimed at those affected, relatives and anyone who wants to understand. Questions are expressly encouraged.
