Reviews and guidelines

Systematic reviews, meta-analyses and clinical guidelines on MS, NMOSD and MOGAD since 2015. Reviews pool the results of many studies, so they are often the best single summary of what is known. Each one is tagged by software and linked to the medicines, hypotheses and frontiers it covers.

Effect of Electrical Stimulation on Remyelination in Preclinical Models of Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review. (opens in a new tab)

Found a benefit

A review of animal studies found that electrical stimulation of the brain, vagus nerve, or peripheral nerves improved myelin repair in models of multiple sclerosis.

From the abstract

Limited but convergent preclinical evidence suggests ES may enhance remyelination by modulating neuronal and inflammatory pathways.

Recent Advances in Interventions Targeting Remyelination and a Systematic Review of Remyelinating Effects of Approved Disease-Modifying Treatments for Multiple Sclerosis. (opens in a new tab)

Evidence too weak to say

This review found that several approved MS drugs show signs of repairing myelin in lab studies, but proof in patients is limited because current markers cannot confirm true repair.

From the abstract

Future proof-of-concept clinical trials investigating remyelinating agents in MS should consider combining outcome measures into composite endpoints.

Recent Advances on Immunosuppressive Drugs and Remyelination Enhancers for the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis. (opens in a new tab)

This review looks at current MS drugs that calm the immune system and newer drugs being tested to repair damaged myelin, the protective coating on nerves.

From the abstract

However, there are no effective treatments for this disease and the immunomodulatory therapies that currently exist have proven limited success since they only delay the progress of the disease.

Remyelination promoting therapies in multiple sclerosis animal models: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (opens in a new tab)

Found a benefit

Researchers reviewed animal studies of treatments that might repair myelin, the protective coating on nerves, and found 16 promising options not yet tested in MS trials.

From the abstract

Our meta-analysis also identifies 16 promising therapies which did not enter a clinical trial for MS so far, among them Pigment epithelium-derived factor, Plateled derived growth factor, and Tocopherol derivate TFA-12.
