MS Disease-Modifying Therapy in Beijing

Medically reviewed by ChinaMedPass Medical TeamUpdated Editorial policy

Short answer

Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) reduce MS relapses and slow progression — from injectables to modern oral and infusion drugs. A Beijing neurologist can confirm the diagnosis, start or switch a DMT, and hand over a plan your home neurologist can continue, often at lower drug prices.

What it is

DMTs are long-term medications that calm the immune attack in MS. Choosing one balances effectiveness, safety monitoring, family planning and lifestyle — a decision that starts with being sure the diagnosis is right.

In Beijing

PUMCH's neuroimmunology specialists confirm (or correct) the diagnosis, then recommend a DMT plan. Many modern DMTs are approved in China, often at prices below Western list prices, and treatment can usually be continued at home.

What we arrange

Records and MRI review before travel, the diagnostic workup week in Beijing, and an English treatment summary for your home neurologist.

MS Disease-Modifying Therapy — frequently asked questions

Can I start an MS therapy in Beijing and continue it at home?

＋

Usually yes — your Beijing neurologist documents the diagnosis, rationale and monitoring plan in English so your home neurologist can continue prescriptions. Drug availability at home is checked before choosing the specific therapy.
