Abstract

Objectives: Also to the inflammatory demyelinating lesions and degenerative process, altered cerebrovascular reactivity or neurovascular coupling (NVC) might be considered as playing another role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. The objective of this study is to assess the NVC of patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) during the acute exacerbation period.
