Pilot study of minocycline in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Current multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment is only partially effective and not all patients respond well. The goal in this study was to evaluate minocycline for its safety, tolerability, and MRI impact as a potential therapy over 36 months after a three month run-in in ten relapsing-remitting (RR) MS patients. METHODS Clinical assessments were at three month intervals until six mont...
متن کاملInterferons in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Recombinant interferons have been shown to suppress both the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures of disease activity in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). OBJECTIVES We performed a Cochrane review of all randomised, placebo-controlled trials of recombinant interferons in RRMS. SEARCH STRATEGY Of 208 articles identified by a predefined ...
متن کاملThalamic neurodegeneration in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
OBJECTIVE To define the extent of neuronal injury and loss in thalamic gray matter in patients with relapsing-remitting (RR) MS and to characterize how these neuronal pathologic changes are related to disease duration. METHODS The authors studied 14 patients with RRMS (Expanded Disability Status Scale score, mean 3.25, range 2.0 to 6.0) and 14 (8 men, 6 women) age-matched healthy controls. St...
متن کاملNatalizumab in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
Natalizumab is the first humanized moclonal antibody indicated in the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Based on its remarkable efficacy in reducing disease activity and reducing the risk of disability progession in RRMS, and the risk of a serious adverse event (progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy [PML]), natalizumab was indicated in active RRMS, mostly as a sec...
متن کاملAltered Serum Cytokine Profiles in Relapse Phase of Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system and cytokines may play a role in the development of MS lesions. Objective: To determine levels of different cytokines in patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RR-MS) compared to healthy controls. Methods: Profiles of pro-inflammatory, Th1-, Th2-, and Th17-related cytokines were compared by quantitative ...
