Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder: Improving Outcomes by Optimizing Choice of Therapy

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

TARGET AUDIENCE:
The intended audience for this activity is neurologists, neuro-ophthalmologists, ophthalmologists, neurology nurse practitioners, neurology physician assistants, and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD).
PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder is a rare autoimmune disease of the central nervous system, mainly manifesting through recurrent attacks of optic neuritis and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis. Early stages of NMOSD are frequently misdiagnosed. The application of newer diagnostic criteria may facilitate earlier and more accurate diagnosis by assisting clinicians in identifying NMOSD in individuals who might have otherwise been diagnosed with other diseases. Treatment options have been limited until recently. Monoclonal antibodies have been used for patients with autoimmune disorders for several years, and their efficacy and safety in patients with NMOSD have been demonstrated. In this continuing education activity, expert clinicians review the latest updates on diagnosing and treating NMOSD.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
• Assess modalities that facilitate the early diagnosis of NMOSD.
• Examine current NMOSD therapies based on their mechanisms of action, dosing frequency, and modes of administration.
• Evaluate the latest clinical evidence for NMOSD treatments, including multidisciplinary approaches to NMOSD patient care.
