Low-Contrast Acuity; Vision; Multiple Sclerosis; Disability; Natalizumab |
| Description |
In the AFFIRM trial of natalizumab vs. placebo for relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS), there was a reduction in sustained loss of low-contrast acuity (LCA) for patients on natalizumab. LCA captures information on visual function not entirely captured by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) or the MS Functional Composite (MSFC), making these measures complementary for assessing disability. |
