disease modulation

Disease modulation refers to strategies that alter the course of a disease, aiming to slow down its progression or reduce its impact on the body. Instead of merely treating symptoms, modulation targets underlying biological processes to improve quality of life, preserve function, and potentially modify the disease's development. This approach can involve medications, lifestyle changes, or other therapies designed to influence the disease mechanisms directly. Essentially, disease modulation seeks to "bend the curve" of a disease’s progression, offering a proactive way to manage chronic or complex conditions more effectively.
