Onset of clinical and MRI efficacy of ocrelizumab in relapsing multiple sclerosis.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To determine the relative efficacy of amantadine, pemoline, and placebo in treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS)-related fatigue. BACKGROUND:Fatigue is a complication of MS. Both pemoline and amantadine have been used to treat MS fatigue, but their relative efficacy is not known. METHODS:Amantadine, pemoline...
