Long term effects of corticosteroids in multiple sclerosis in terms of the “no evidence of disease activity” (NEDA) domains

ConclusionMore data is needed to determine long-term disease modifying effects of corticosteroids. The findings of this study suggest that, perhaps, regular pulse glucocorticoid treatment may have important long-term consequences (beneficial) for patients with MS and it may achieve the NEDA target. Certainly, the magnitude of the reported effects deserves further investigation in both relapsing and progressive MS populations.
