Article Synopsis
- Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex, chronic disease affecting the central nervous system, linked to immune system dysfunction and barrier breakdown.
- The growing incidence of MS and the side effects of current treatments highlight the need for new therapies, leading to research utilizing animal models like experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) to better understand the disease.
- This review explores conivaptan, an AVP receptor blocker, as a promising treatment option that could effectively modulate immune responses in MS with fewer side effects compared to traditional therapies.
