Kappa Index Versus Csf Oligoclonal Bands in Diagnosis of ms and Prediction of Disease Activity

NCT06372977 · Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 140

Summary

To:

1. Compare the diagnostic performance of cerebrospinal fluid kappa index to that of cerebrospinal fluid IgG oligoclonal bands in differentiating multiple sclerosis from other inflammatory and non-inflammatory neurological diseases .
2. Assess the role of kappa free light chain and oligoclonal bands in predicting disease activity (conversion from clinical isolated syndrome to multiple sclerosis)
