Steroids Help NMO Relapses
Submitted by art on Fri, 2008-02-01 08:20.
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a relapsing neurologic disease characterized by severe optic neuritis and transverse myelitis (similar in many ways to MS). A disease-modifying therapy for NMO has not been established.
The results of this study suggest a beneficial effect of low-dose corticosteroid monotherapy in reducing relapses in NMO.
