Domain Specific Placebo Response in the Modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The placebo response in clinical trials in ataxias complicates outcome interpretation and potentially obscures genuine treatment effects. We analyzed placebo group data from past trials in Friedreich Ataxia and observed notable responses in appendicular items, in contrast to minimal changes in axial function, as measured by respective ...

Assessing Uncertainty

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology, 1974
Summary Intuitive judgments of probability are based on a limited number of heuristics that are usually effective but sometimes lead to severe and systematic errors. Research shows, for example, that people judge the probability of a hypothesis by the degree to which it represents the evidence, with little or no regard for its prior ...

Real‐World Investigation of Satralizumab in Patients With Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disease

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Satralizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the interleukin‐6 receptor, has demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). However, its real‐world effectiveness and safety compared to conventional immunosuppressive therapies remain uncertain.
