Background: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system that is categorized as an immune-mediated inflammatory disease. This study aimed to systematically review the cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness of relapsing-remitting drugs for multiple sclerosis. Methods: To find related research and articles, articles published in Iranian and international databases by using a combination of MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) terms and based on inclusion and exclusion criteria were searched and reviewed. We included studies that addressed interventions, ICER, per QALY, and those which were published in a journal for different methods of infertility treatment, or a major general journal till 2019. Results: Out of 1,360 records found, finally, 21 records were included in the research. Ten articles were published in the European continent, six articles in the Americ continent, and finally, five articles in the Asia continent. The most common limitations of published economic evaluation studies were in methodology or presentation of incremental analyses, sensitivity analyses, and discounts. The lowest and highest numerical value of outcome measures were -1,623,918 and 2,297,141.53, resprectively. Furthermore, the lowest and highest numerical value of the cost of disease-modifying drugs of RRMS were $180.67, and $1474840.19, resprectively. Conclusions: Based on the results of all studies, it can be concluded that for the treatment of patients with AF, care-oriented strategies should be preferred to drug strategies. Also, among the drug strategies with different prescribing methods, oral disease-modifying drugs of RRMS should be preferred to injectable drugs and intravenous infusions.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
