Figure 2 Differences in brain atrophy at 2 years between LA and control cohorts
Annualized percent change brain volume (PCBV) between LA and placebo cohorts using intention-to-treat analysis of 51 participants with secondary progressive MS (A). Two-year PCBV from study completers is shown and demonstrates significantly less PCBV in the LA cohort (n = 22, −0.45% [SEE 0.71]) than controls (n = 24, −1.31% [SEE 1.10], p = 0.001, B). LA = lipoic acid; SEE = standard errors of the coefficient estimate.
