Immune Response to COVID-19 Vaccine in Multiple Sclerosis Patients Treated With Teriflunomide and...

Multiple Sclerosis

Phase IV, 3-armed, prospective, open-label, single-center, Israeli study, examining the response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in 30 teriflunomide-, 10 alemtuzumab-treated patients, and 30 age-matched (for the teriflunomide group) untreated MS patients. Treatments will be administered according to common local practice. Demographic, clinical, treatment-related and COVID-19-related data will be collected. Blood samples will be drawn for each participant at baseline (before COVID-19 vaccination), and at 1, 3, 6, (and possibly 12) months post 2nd dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Humoral, B-cell and T-cell responses will be evaluated.

Multicenter Observational Study for the Evaluation in Clinical Practice of Urinary Disorders in...

Multiple SclerosisUrinary Bladder1 more

The major part of people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) experiences Low Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) secondary to neurogenic Low Urinary Tract Dysfunctions (n-LUTDs) during the course of MS, reaching almost 100% after about 10 years. N-LUTDs represent an important issue for pwMS, especially for their negative impact on Quality of Life (QoL), as they are mainly youngs in the prime of their life. Moreover n-LUTDs can lead to serious complications on the urinary tract as infections or renal failure. Therefore, the neurologist in daily clinical practice must intercept the possible presence of LUTS as soon as possible so that he can promptly initiate optimal management. To do this, it is essential to provide neurologists with validated, reproducible and sensitive tools that are, above all, easy to use in an outpatient setting. Our clinical research seeks, for the first time, to show whether pwMS get any improvement after the initial LUTS management, whether this improvement, if any, is related to the professional figure takes care about LUTS (neurologist vs urologist) and if there is an objective improvement of voiding performances on standardized measures.

Hypnosis and Direct Autonomic Experience Influence on Chronic Symptoms

Restless Legs SyndromeMultiple Sclerosis4 more

Study will look at a limited number of participants with various chronic symptoms. Investigating a new and novel form of hypnosis application called "Direct Autonomic Experience (DAX)" which is using combination of visualization, metaphor, post-hypnotic suggestion and anchoring. Purpose is to confirm that DAX generally appears to impact SUDS value and subjects report observed level of effect on short and longer term measurements. Most significantly, testing that DAX technique/action is reusable later if the measured SUDS value returns or increases.

The Effect of Alemtuzumab on the Blood-brain-barrier and the Brain's Metabolism in Multiple Sclerosis...

Multiple Sclerosis

The development and progression of multiple sclerosis seem to be driven by concomitant inflammation and, to a less well-defined degree, disturbances in metabolism of individual cells of the human central nervous system as well as changes in the dynamical supply of blood to the brain. These alterations in normal physiology can be quantified by investigating the change in specific parameters over the time course of multiple sclerosis evolution. Amongst these specific parameters, the ability of the so-called blood-brain-barrier to selectively filter nutrients from the blood stream prior to passage into the nervous tissue, is disrupted in multiple sclerosis, and the severity of this deficiency seem to be related to the underlying disease burden. The present study utilises a novel imaging technology in order to monitor changes in the integrity of the blood-brain-barrier over the course of treatment with a biological disease modifying agent known as alemtuzumab. Alemtuzumab is a potent immunosuppressant drug. It is hypothesised that alemtuzumab reverts the deficiency in blood-brain-barrier integrity and, conversely, the severity of blood-brain-barrier disruption at several time points during alemtuzumab treatment can be utilised as prognostic marker for the requirement of additional administration of alemtuzumab beyond the regular treatment regimen. In addition, several other factors are investigated by advanced imaging techniques in combination with blood and urine samples in order to elucidate the possible underlying mechanism of alemtuzumab efficacy. It is hypothesized that alemtuzumab normalises metabolic alterations and changes in the blood supply through resolution of inflammation in the brains of multiple sclerosis patients.

Retrospective Observational Study About Long-term Effect of Fampridine in Patients With Multiple...

Multiple Sclerosis

Mobility problems in multiple sclerosis (MS) is a frequent symptom. It might appear in almost 93% of patients in the first 15 years of the disease, being a clear problem for their normal living. Nevertheless, therapeutic options for this symptom are few and optimal for only some patients.

A Pilot Study Assessing the Impact of Gilenya Therapy on Bone Density Change in Relapsing Forms...

Multiple Sclerosis

The purpose of this study is to assess whether Multiple Sclerosis patients treated with Gilenya show a beneficial change over time in bone mass density and bone turnover markers as compared to matched controls treated with alternative FDA approved therapy or no therapy.

The Effects of Aerobics Training on Balance in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple SclerosisRelapsing-Remitting

Standing Balance, with and without blindfold, will be measured on patients with Multiple Sclerosis using a Biodex Balance Scale. A Twelve week intervention with one non impact aerobics group and one control group will be performed. Standing balance will then be retested on all subjects and the results will be statistically compared.
