Interferon Beta-1a for Brain Tissue Loss in Patients at Presentation with Syndromes Suggestive of Multiple Sclerosis: A Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

Article Abstract
Early treatment with interferon beta-1a is effective in reducing conversion to clinically definite multiple sclerosis and in slowing progressive loss of brain tissue in patients with clinically isolated syndromes. The modest correlation between new lesion formation and brain volume decrease suggests that inflammatory and neurodegenerative processes are, at least party, dissociated from the earliest clinical stage of multiple sclerosis onwards.
