Question 10252 — diseases

Summary

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People to the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) in rural departments. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, the leading cause of non-traumatic disability in young adults. It is often diagnosed between the ages of 25 and 35 years old and progressing in spurts. The symptoms, sometimes invisible or confused with other conditions, delay the diagnosis and the implementation of treatments. Although available therapies can reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups, they do not yet cure the disease. This pathology causes motor, sensory, balance and visual disorders, seriously affecting personal life, family and professional life of patients, often forcing them to cease their professional activity. In rural areas, care remains particularly difficult: access to SEP resource and skills centers (CRC-SEP) is restricted, requiring travel to the nearest university hospitals, such as that of Clermont-Ferrand for residents of Creuse. In addition, the specific rehabilitation offer (walking, swimming, maintenance of functional skills) is very limited, even though it constitutes an essential element for preserving the autonomy of patients. He therefore asks what measures she intends to implement to promote earlier diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, develop specialized care structures in rural departments, strengthen access to adapted rehabilitation and psychological support, better recognize the invisible disability from which patients suffer and finally support patient associations and their caregivers, essential players in support.
