Abstract

Lack of the efficient treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) and large diversity of disease symptoms is the main cause of using alternative treatment by patients with MS. Our studies revealed that about 70% of patients actually use or have ever used any alternative methods. In the article the main aspects of alternative therapy in multiple sclerosis (MS) and the most popular methods of alternative therapy used by MS patients were presented.
