Abstract

To investigate the association between affective and neuroendocrine abnormalities, commonly observed in multiple sclerosis, with inflammatory disease activity. Cross-sectional design. Twenty-three patients with definite relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and age- and sex-matched control subjects were investigated. Depression and anxiety were assessed using structured interviews, self-report measures, and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition, Revised criteria. Neurologic impairment was assessed by the Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale and function of hypothalamic-adrenal-pituitary axis was analyzed using a corticotropin-releasing hormone stimulation test after dexamethasone suppression. Inflammatory disease activity was evaluated first by routine and experimental laboratory tests, and second by magnetic resonance assessment of gadolinium uptake of multiple sclerotic plaques. University hospital, a major provider of acute neurologic care. Compared with controls, patients with multiple sclerosis had higher scores on depression and anxiety scales and exhibited a failure of suppression of cortisol release after dexamethasone pretreatment. Both affective symptoms and neuroendocrine abnormali...Continue Reading
