简要总结

Flupirtine, a non-opioid analgesic drug, that has been shown to have additional neuroprotective functions, is given twice daily as an oral medication in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis over a period of 12 months. Neuroprotection is assessed by magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, optical coherence tomography, and clinical examination.
