Interferon-alpha 2a Reduces MRI Disease Activity in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
Neurol 52:1049-1056, Myhr,K.M.,et al, 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
No treatment effect on exacerbation rate, progression of disability, or quality of life was detected. Nine patients discontinued treatment, five because of adverse events. IFN-alpha2a treatment significantly reduced disease activity as measured by MRI, but the efficacy disappeared within 6 months after discontinuation of treatment. A long-term study of more patients using disability as a primary outcome measure is needed to evaluate the clinical impact.
