Abstract:ObjectivesHypoperfusion and tissue hypoxia have been implicated as contributory mechanisms in the neuropathology of multiple sclerosis (MS). Our objective has been to study cortical oxygenation in vivo in patients with MS and age‐matched controls.MethodsA custom, multiwavelength time‐domain near‐infrared spectroscopy system was developed for assessing tissue hypoxia from the prefrontal cortex. A cross‐sectional case–control study was undertaken assessing patients with secondary progressive MS (SPMS) and age‐ma… Show more
