Swedish term

Bromsbehandling

Swedish to English Medical Medical (general)
Hi, does anyone know the medical term for bromsbehandling? I don't think 'brake treatment' sounds right, although I do find a few instances where it is used. Context is a patient taking a medication for 'bromsbehandling' of MS (so to slow down the disease rather than cure it).
Thanks

In English we call them "disease-modifying therapies". It's not a direct translation but it is equivalent. (My ex has MS.)

disease modifying treatment/therapy (drug)

This reference uses both 'disease modifying treatment,' and "disease modify drugs." Without your context I can't really tell. I chose this reference since I've seen your term used many times in reference to aid treatment and medications. But these term are also used in relation to specific MS treatments.
And, btw, without more context 'retarding' describes the effect of these drugs/treatments, so that may also fit your context.

antiretroviral therapy



I found this:
https://www.proz.com/kudoz/swedish-to-english/medical-pharma...

bromsmedicin = medicine with anti-retroviral effect

It would follow that "bromsbehandling" is "antiretroviral therapy"

Objectives: Even though multiple sclerosis (MS) and HIV infection are well-documented conditions in clinical medicine, there is only a single case report of a patient with MS and HIV treated with HIV antiretroviral therapies. In this report, the patient's MS symptoms resolved completely after starting combination antiretroviral therapy and remain subsided for more than 12 years.

Do Antiretroviral Drugs Protect From Multiple Sclerosis by Inhibiting Expression of MS-Associated Retrovirus?
Peer comment(s):

disagree Michele Fauble : MS is not a viral condition.//Still, in the context of MS, ‘bromsbehandling’ is not ‘antiretroviral therapy’.
