17-ketosteroids and Multiple-Sclerosis

In 15 patients with multiple sclerosis about half of the patients showed decreased gonadotropin and estrogen values in the urine. A control examination of these findings in 19 additional patients showed normal plasma FSH and LH values. Except for one slightly elevated value the prolactin levels were normal in this group.

The experience of the authors demonstrated that the best results in sinakten-retard treatment were attained in patients with mild and moderate degrees of severity of the disease. However, even in patients with a protracted development, treatment by sinakten-retard increased the muscular strength in the paralyzed extremities, diminished the increased muscular tone and increased the volume of movements. All these facts permit the authors to recommend sinakten-retard for the treatment of disseminated sclerosis.
