"No evidence of disease activity (NEDA) in multiple sclerosis (MS) means no relapse, no disability progression, and no new or enlarging lesions on MRI. NEDA is the treatment target in many inflammatorydiseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Now, aggressiveearly disease modifying therapy is acceptable for treatment of MS to prevent the irreversibledamage that leads to disability. As new and more effective therapies for MS become available,the treatment paradigm of MS can be expected to shift, such that NEDA or freedom of disease activityand NEDA is becoming an important measure in clinical trials. NEDA is an important goal for treatingMS and a decision method of switching disease modifying therapy. There are many unsolvedproblems in NEDA and definition of NEDA would be changing by further new technologies andstudies. Journal of Multiple Sclerosis 6(2):23-28, 2015" |
