Abstract

4-Aminopyridine (4-AP) has a favorable effect on the disability of certain patients with MS. We investigated the effect of 4-AP on neuropsychological performance in 20 MS patients using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design. Although there was a trend for improved performance with 4-AP for two of the tests, we could not demonstrate significant effects of 4-AP on cognitive function.
