Active clinical trials for "Multiple Sclerosis"

The Main Hypothesis of this extension trial is that among those who have successfully discontinued their DMT as part of the DISCOMS trial (i.e. did not have a new MS relapse or brain MRI lesion) and remain off DMT after DISCOMS are at no greater risk of new or worsened MS disease activity compared to those who successfully continued their DMT as part of DISCOMS and remain on DMT, each assessed at least one year after termination of the primary DISCOMS study.

Introduction/Objectives: In this observational study, we assessed the benefit following an injection of 200 international units (IU) of incobotulinum toxinA in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) with spasticity of the triceps surae (TS) at 6 weeks (peak efficacy of toxin) and at 3 months (cancellation of efficacy). Methods: This study enrolled all MS patients willing to participate with Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores of less than 6, who required toxin for management of focal spasticity of the TS. Treatment consisted of 200 IU of incobotulinum toxinA injected into the TS. Outcome measures were assessed before injection, at 6 weeks and 3 months post-injection, using the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS), Twelve Item MS Walking (MSWS-12) Scale, Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test, 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT). Spatiotemporal gait data was obtained by GAITRite.

This trials randomizes patients with multiple sclerosis (MS, pwMS) to a remote visit (via phone or videochat) or a regular outpatient visit. Outcomes include satisfaction on the patients' and doctor's side.

The primary endpoint of this study is to compare the humoral response (titre and neutralizing capacity of induced antibodies) against SARS-CoV-2 following vaccination with BNT162b2 (Pfizer BioNTech) in immunocompromised persons, in comparison to healthy subject. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the humoral response in the nasal mucosa, and the capacity of antibodies to neutralize emerging variants of concerns and to prevent COVID-19.

Within-subject waitlist-control group design trial of eSupport health-coach moderated online support group participation to address mental health needs in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) from historically underrepresented groups (i.e., Black and Latinx patients).

To determine the level of STAT4 expression in different cases of multiple sclerosis and its relation to disease severity . compare the sensitivity and specificity of STAT4 levels using both PCR and flow cytometry.

Central Nervous System (CNS) demyelinating conditions include multiple sclerosis (MS), Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM), Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD), Optic Neuritis (ON) and Transverse Myelitis (TM). The symptoms of these conditions are quite variable from patient to patient, but can include motor, sensory, visual, gait and cognitive changes. Conventional MRI can be used to look for new anatomic changes, but fails to measure underlying biochemical changes in brain tissue. The purposes of this study are to identify the biologic and anatomic correlations between cognitive profiles and disease activity using MRI imaging techniques.

The study evaluates the efficacy of the CAN DO Program for improving health, wellness, and quality of life in people with MS, and compares outcomes between people with MS who participate in the CAN DO Program to a control group of people with MS who do not participate in the CAN DO Program. The study also evaluates the impact of the CAN DO Program on support partners.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits of a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet (ketogenic diet) in up to 50 subjects with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), a chronic neuro-inflammatory disease. The primary aim of this study is to provide evidence of tolerability of the ketogenic diet in patients with RRMS. The principal investigator hypothesizes that the diet may prove beneficial for participants disease state in multiple potential ways.The study consists of 5 visits over a 12 month period. During these visits subjects will undergo fasting lab work, micro-biome sampling, neurological testing, body composition analysis, meeting with dietitian, and will be asked to complete surveys as well as a diet recall log.

The objective of this study is to determine efficacy, safety and tolerability of interferon beta-1b for multiple sclerosis (MS) in children and adolescents
