​

Neuroimmunology is the study of  the complex communication and interaction between the nervous system (brain, spinal cord, nerves) and the immune system, focusing on how they influence each other, leading to understanding conditions where the immune system attacks the nervous system (like Multiple Sclerosis) and developing novel therapeutic target. This vital crosstalk affects development, response to injury/infection, inflammation, and maintaining nerve health.

​

Autoimmune neurology focuses on neurological disorders where the immune system mistakenly attacks the central (brain, spinal cord) or peripheral nervous system, causing neuroinflammation and nerve dysfunction. It covers conditions like autoimmune encephalitis, epilepsy, movement disorders, and neuropathies, often involving antibodies targeting neural proteins, leading to symptoms like confusion, seizures, vision loss, or weakness, and requiring specialized diagnosis and treatment beyond standard neurological care.

​

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord, optic nerves) where the immune system mistakenly attacks myelin, leading to disrupting nerve signals. MS has varied symptoms like fatigue, numbness, vision problems, muscle weakness, balance issues, and cognitive changes. MS has no cure. Treatments of MS manage symptoms and slow progression. 

​​

Neuroinflammation is central to Multiple Sclerosis. Acupuncture is considered a complementary therapy for managing multiple sclerosis symptoms by suppressing neuroinflammation.
