Note:—NAWM indicates normal-appearing white matter; CIS, clinically isolated syndromes; MS, multiple sclerosis; tNAA, summation of N-acetylaspartate and N-acetylaspartyl glutamate; mIns, myo-inositol; Cho, choline; tCr, summation of creatine and phosphocreatine; Glx, summation of glutamate and glutamine.
* Data are mean values (± SD). P values were obtained by the Mann-Whitney U test and represent relative comparisons between the control group and the patient groups (CIS, MS). All results printed in bold are significantly different (P < .05) when compared with the control group.
