The effect of intramuscular interferon beta-1a on spinal cord volume in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
BACKGROUND Spinal cord atrophy occurs early in multiple sclerosis (MS) and impacts disability. The therapeutic effect of interferon beta-1a (IFNβ-1a) on spinal cord atrophy in patients with relapsing-remitting (RR) MS has not been explored. METHODS We retrospectively identified 16 consecutive patients receiving weekly intramuscular IFNβ-1a for 2 years [baseline age (mean ± SD) 47.7 ± 7.5 year...
متن کاملEmerging methods for evaluating the effectiveness of intramuscular interferon beta-1a for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
Newer outcome-based assessment methods have been developed that complement and improve upon the ability of historical clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcome measures to measure multiple sclerosis (MS) disease activity, patient functionality, treatment efficacy, and the risk of MS disease progression. These newer MS outcome assessments include instruments to evaluate cognitive fun...
متن کاملSerum auto antibodies presence in multiple sclerosis patients treated with beta-interferon 1a and 1b.
To verify the possible effect of IFN-beta treatment on auto antibodies development in multiple sclerosis (MS) we studied 69 MS patients before and during the treatment with IFN-beta 1b (n=35) and IFN-beta 1a (n=20) for 27 and 12 months respectively, and, as controls, 14 untreated MS patients. The serum, collected every 3 months from all the patients, was investigated for the presence of antinuc...
متن کاملFingolimod versus High Dose Interferon Beta-1a in Multiple Sclerosis: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Background: High dose Interferon Beta and Fingolimod are efficient in Multiple Sclerosis. Objectives: Comparison the efficacy of these two drugs in patients with treatment failure on low dose interferon beta. Materials and Methods: The MS patients (McDonald criteria 2010) with the history of unbeneficial treatment on low dose interferon beta participated in this randomized clinical trial ...
متن کاملThe use of interferon beta in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
The use of interferon beta-1a to treat multiple sclerosis in a child of 7 years of age is discussed. To date, there is only one other published report of the use of interferon beta in a child as young as this. One year after commencing treatment she had shown significant clinical improvement, with a marked reduction in number of relapses. In her second year of treatment she suffered a major rel...
