Old allergy pill shows promise in repairing MS nerve damage
NCT ID NCT02040298
Summary
This study tested whether clemastine, an older allergy medicine, could help repair the protective coating (myelin) around nerves in people with relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS). Fifty participants with MS and evidence of nerve damage in their vision took either clemastine or a placebo for several months. Researchers used eye tests and brain scans to see if the medicine could improve nerve signaling and repair damage.
