NCT ID NCT01442233
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether plasma exchange (a blood-filtering treatment) helps people with multiple sclerosis who have severe flare-ups that don't get better with steroids. Thirty-eight adults took part, and researchers compared real plasma exchange to a sham procedure. The main goal was to see if patients improved after one month using standard disability scales.
