First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 35 times
Summary
This study tested whether clemastine fumarate, a drug originally used for allergies, can help repair the protective coating around nerves in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). Fifty adults with MS took either clemastine or a placebo for up to 3 months while continuing their usual MS treatments. Researchers measured nerve repair using eye tests and brain scans to see if the drug improved signal speed in damaged nerves.
