We hypothesize that elevated body and brain temperature
in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
(RRMS) indicates clinically-silent disease activity,
i.e., inflammatory processes. MRS thermometry was used
to measure brain temperature in RRMS and
progressive-type MS patients. Brain temperature was
elevated in RRMS patients relative to progressive-type
patients. Monitoring brain and body temperature may
allow us to detect clinically-silent inflammatory
processes in patients with RRMS.
