La Mantia L, Vacchi L, Rovaris M et al. JNNP 2012
Cochrane analysis of placebo controlled trials 1995-2012. 5 trials, 3082 patients. IFN did not reduce disability progression, there was small decrease in relapses, cognition not studied. More treated than placebo patients dropped out. Conclusion: Only use IFN in selected patients with active disease to reduce risk of disabling superimposed relapses.
Comment (blogger). If patients are relapsing they have RRMS. SPMS is diagnosed and differentiated from RRMS as an art form.
