Experimental trials that have captured current interest and hold the promise of future advances in the treatment of multiple sclerosis are covered in this monograph. The authors review the statistical and design aspects of experimental therapy as well as the emerging concepts of pathogenesis which have already begun to modify present approaches. The monograph gives a better understanding of the many recent advances in the field. These include improved statistical knowledge and design that will permit results from properly conducted clinical trials; an understanding of the mechanisms of organ-specific tissue injury in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis and multiple sclerosis; and numerous trials of experimental immunotherapy in the disease.
