Human Subjects in MS Therapies

A randomized controlled trial, called TREAT-MS, is evaluating whether early aggressive therapy is more effective than traditional therapy in preventing long-term disability in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis. The primary measure used for this evaluation is the time to sustained disability progression, assessed through specific tests.
