Table 2.

Results from statistical analysis of differences in icobrain ms volumetrics between MS types. The group effect rows provide the results of the Kruskal–Wallis analyses looking for an effect of MS type on these variables. Other rows indicate the group differences as observed via post-hoc pairwise tests. p-values have been corrected for multiple comparisons.
