Abstract:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Migraine is a common comorbidity in MS, with primary headache syndromes frequently observed. Ofatumumab, a high-efficacy anti-cluster of differentiation 20 (CD20) monoclonal antibody, and erenumab, a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist, are available as subcutaneously administered monoclonal antibody agents. Despite their independent efficacy, there is limited evidence regarding the concurrent use of these two agents in patients with MS and migraine, especially in those with dermatological conditions such as pyoderma gangrenosum. We treated a 43-year-old Japanese woman with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), migraine, and pyoderma gangrenosum. She experienced persistent migraines despite valproic acid and sumatriptan use. After the administration of intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP), ofatumumab treatment was introduced; erenumab was later initiated to manage migraines. The addition of erenumab reduced the patient's monthly migraine days (MMDs) and monthly headache days (MHDs). No progression of MS or worsening of pyoderma gangrenosum was observed. The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score remained stable, and cognitive function was preserved. The combination therapy demonstrated effectiveness without exacerbating the patient's underlying dermatological condition. This case suggests that combining ofatumumab and erenumab is a viable therapeutic option for patients with MS and comorbid migraine and pyoderma gangrenosum, offering effective disease control with an acceptable safety profile.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

In the case of a member with a variable cross-section, the strain is not constant but depends on the position. The deformation of an...
Multiple Voltage Sources
In series, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of another battery. Hence, the voltage of each battery is added to give the net voltage, which is increased because each battery boosts the electrons that enter it. The same current flows through each battery because they are connected in series.
Batteries are...
Multiple Comparison Tests
It would be easy to compare two samples using a significance alpha level of 0.05. In other words, there is only one sample pair to be compared. However, it would be difficult to identify a significantly different sample if the number...
Multiple Bar Graph
Each bar or column in the multiple bar graph represents a data value. These graphs are used primarily in interrelating two or more sets of data. The categories of different kinds of data are listed along the horizontal or x-axis, whereas...
