Open publisher page 9 citations

Abstract

The effect of treatment with bed rest only and bed rest combined with ACTH was studied retrospectively in 55 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients suffering from 99 relapses. No convincing arguments in favour of the combination with ATCH over bed rest alone were found. A review of the literature on the treatment of exacerbations in multiple sclerosis patients with bed rest and ATCH is given.
