Demyelinating lesions may cause symptoms such as a sensation of head heaviness and tinnitus. Once these symptoms appear, treatment under a physician’s guidance—such as the rational use of neurotrophic medications (e.g., oryzanol tablets)—is generally recommended. Symptom relief can also be achieved through adequate bed rest and maintaining an optimistic, positive mindset. In daily life, patients should pay attention to self-care but avoid engaging in heavy physical labor.
