Abstract

Immune-mediated peripheral nervous system (PNS) disorders pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, necessitating collaborative, patient-centered care. Limited access to specialized centers leads to delayed diagnosis and care, as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. To address these challenges, accessible specialized care is crucial. On-site support plays a vital role in advising and assisting patients and caregivers, enabling multidisciplinary care for PNS diseases. The PNS Nurse Education Program tackles these complexities, using specialized nurses experienced in multiple sclerosis and Parkinson disease. Focusing on peripheral neuroimmunologic disorders, PNS nurses monitor disease severity, optimize communication, and provide therapeutic support in the recently started era of available immunotherapies. Collaboration with other healthcare sectors and support groups further enhances patient care. Ultimately, the PNS Nurse Education Program aims to bridge the gap between complex treatments and limited specialized care, improving patient outcomes and relieving burdens on patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems.
