ABSTRACT
Idiopatic or HTLV-1 associated progressive spastic paraparesis does not have a clear etiology or treatment. To assess the effects of a medication containing cytidinmonophosphate, uridintriphosphate and vitamin B 12 in the treatment of progressive spastic. Patients with the disease were randomly assigned to receive the Nucleus CMP forte (containing dysodic cytidinmonophosphate 5 mg,trisodic uridintriphosphate 3 mg and hydroxicobalamin 2 mg) tid or placebo during 6 months. Gait, spasticity, degree of neurogenic bladder and somatosensitive evoked potentials were assessed during treatment. Forty six patients aged 25 to 79 years old were studied, 24 were female and 29 HTLV-1 positive. Twenty two were treated with the drug and the rest with placebo. Gait and spasticity improved in 7 of 22 patients receiving the drug and 1 of 24 receiving placebo (p<0.05). Neurogenic bladder improved in 10 of 22 receiving the drug and 4 patients treated with the drug and in two of seven treated with placebo. The medication caused a modest improvement in patients with progressive spastic paraparesis and was free of side effects
