Relapses, Immunosuppressive and Novel Therapies
View through CrossRef
This chapter presents information about treatment of acute attacks of multiple sclerosis and identification of precipitating factors. Additionally, it includes a detailed discussion of immunosuppressive agents that are used (largely off label) as disease-modifying therapies and data that support their use. Many clinical trials are currently focused on testing agents for use in progressive disease as well as agents that may be neuroprotective or neurorestorative. Results of recent trials of several of these various new and experimental agents are also reviewed.
