Climate change and multiple sclerosis: Clinical challenges and strategies.

Summary: Imagine trying to manage a delicate condition like Multiple Sclerosis (MS) while the world gets hotter and stormier. That is the growing reality facing patients today. Rising temperatures are well-known to make MS symptoms significantly worse, while increasing air pollution can trigger inflammation in the brain. Even worse, extreme weather events create dangerous hurdles for those with mobility issues trying to access help or evacuate. This paper urges doctors to wake up to these climate risks and start planning specific care strategies—like cooling techniques and disaster planning—to protect their patients in a changing environment.
