In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 48 participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis took 500 mg of coenzyme q10 or placebo daily for 12 weeks.
There was a greater reduction in TNF and IL-6 in the intervention group than the placebo group, the difference being statistically significant. Matrix metallopeptidase was also lowered significantly more, while TGF-β, IL-4, and disability scale results didn't show statistically significant differences.
