Fifty-three patients with multiple sclerosis were assessed in a double-blind multicentre study for the effect of amantadine. The patients were observed in general practices for up to four years. Relapses occurred in 5 of the 24 patients treated with amantadine and in 14 of the 29 placebo-treated patients. Neurological deterioration was not significantly different in the two groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
