MS patients’ perception of the effects of PR-fampridine on walking disorders and daily life: results from an observational study conducted via an online community

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disease frequently causing walking impairment. Prolonged-release PR-fampridine (dalfampridine extended-release in US) is approved for the improvement of gait function in MS patients with walking disability (Expanded Disability Status Scale 4-7). Fampridine targets the underlying neurological causes of MS walking impairment through modification of neurotransmission in the CNS and can be used in patients with any subtype of MS. The study aims at observing how patients’ daily life evolved following the prescription of PR-fampridine.
