Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an intricate neurological condition that affects many individuals worldwide, and there is a considerable amount of research into understanding the pathology and treatment development. Nonlinear analysis has been increasingly utilized in analyzing electroencephalography (EEG) signals from patients with various neurological disorders, including MS, and it has been proven to be an effective tool for comprehending the complex nature exhibited by the brain.
Methods: This study seeks to investigate the impact of Interferon-β (IFN-β) and dimethyl fumarate (DMF) on MS patients using sample entropy (SampEn) and Higuchi’s fractal dimension (HFD) on collected EEG signals. The data were collected at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. In this study, a total of 175 subjects were included across the groups: IFN-β (n = 39), DMF (n = 53), and healthy controls (n = 83).
Results: The analysis indicated that each treatment group exhibited more complex EEG signals than the control group. SampEn had demonstrated significant sensitivity to the effects of each treatment compared to HFD, while HFD showed more sensitivity to changes over time, particularly in the DMF group.
Discussion: These findings enhance our understanding of the complex nature of MS, support treatment development, and demonstrate the effectiveness of nonlinear analysis methods.
