چکیده
Health technology The study examined five treatments for patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). These comprised symptomatic management (physical therapy and pharmacological treatment for symptom management) alone, or symptomatic management supplemented by four alternative immunomodulatory therapies. The immunomodulatory therapies were subcutaneous (SC) glatiramer acetate (GA) and three beta-interferons (IFNs), specifically, intramuscular (IM) IFN beta-1a, SC IFN beta-1a and SC IFN beta-1b.

BACKGROUND Disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) are a significant expenditure for treating multiple sclerosis (MS). However, there is limited report on assessment of the cost-utility of DMDs compared with symptom management in the presence of long-term data. This study aimed to assess the lifetime cost-utility from the Iranian healthcare perspectives of 4DMDs relative to symptom management alone in p...
