What is Low Dose Naltrexone for MS Treatment about?

Low dose naltrexone therapy is used by some multiple sclerosis patients based on anecdotal reports of benefits, but there are no clinical trials. The author proposes that naltrexone may reduce apoptosis of oligodendrocytes by decreasing nitric oxide synthase activity and subsequent formation of peroxynitrites, which can inhibit glutamate transporters and lead to excitotoxicity. A clinical trial is needed to properly investigate this potential neuroprotective treatment for multiple sclerosis.
