Official Title: The Effect of Fampridine-SR on Visual Function in Poorly Recovered Optic Neuritis in Persons With MS
Brief Summary: Optic Neuritis (ON) is a condition that occurs in approximately 50% of individuals with relapse remitting MS, and is the presenting event in 15-20% of patients who go on to develop MS.
These ON events present with a decline in vision over several days with painful eye movements.
The purpose of this study is to collect pilot data on the effect of Fampridine-SR on the recovery of visual function after demyelinating optic neuritis.Our team evaluated a person with ON who had incomplete recovery which was quite bothersome to her.
After a one-month treatment course Fampridine SR,her visual functioning improved.
Based on this case, we present a unique opportunity to evaluate the potential benefit of Fampridine-SR as a potential treatment for persons who do not fully recover from acute ON.
