Is This Making My MS Worse? Therapeutic Inertia

Most people have never heard of therapeutic inertia, and yet its a factor impacting MANY patients being teated for MS! In this video I explain what it is, how to identify it, and ask you to CALL IT OUT when you see it!

Therapeutic Inertia is defined as absence of treatment initiation or intensification when therapeutic goals are not met. For example, imaging someone with MS taking a given disease modifying therapy who has new breakthrough disease activity including new clinical attack and new lesion on MRI...and the MS DMT isn't changed!

There are 3 groups who may contribute to therapeutic inertia. Patients, Payors and ... can you guess the 3rd? I discuss how to identify therapeutic inertia in hopes that you'll call it out when you see it!
