The association between vitamin D and uveitis: A comprehensive review
2022, Survey of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Despite inconsistent findings across studies, overall, they are suggestive of an anti-inflammatory and regulatory response induced by vitamin D in MS.73 Early works of vitamin D supplementation for MS patients showed promise as a neuroprotective agent, leading to a reduced relapse rate.24 More recent studies revealed beneficial effects on MRI measures of disease activity.10,30,42,65

2020, Multiple Sclerosis and Related DisordersCitation Excerpt :Thus, sufficient intake of vitamin D might have an anti-inflammatory effect on the immune response and may therefore contribute to a reduced disease severity. Serum vitamin D concentration drops during MS relapses compared to remission (Soilu-Hanninen et al., 2005), and vitamin D supplementation has been shown to lower the relapse rate in PwMS (Goldberg et al., 1986). Furthermore, studies have found higher doses of vitamin D to be associated with reduced disability (in terms of the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS)) (Bagur et al., 2017; Burton et al., 2010).
