Positive results... testosterone for men with MS

Positive results published on testosterone for men with MS

Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles have published results from a small study, funded by the US National MS Society and others, suggesting that one year of treatment with a gel containing the sex hormone testosterone (applied to the skin) in 10 men with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis resulted in significant improvements in cognitive function and in slowing brain tissue loss.

Nancy Sicotte, MD, Rhonda Voskuhl, MD, and colleagues report these positive findings in the May 2007 issue of Archives of Neurology (2007;64:683-688).
