A Novel Wearable Digital Biomarker for Detecting Changes in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Condition
Multiple SclerosisTo measure the effectiveness of a Remote Patient Monitoring solution based on the use of a smart insole wearable device (and associated smart phone app), for monitoring MS patients' condition on a day-to-day basis. The main focus is the objective measurement of gait, given that 75% of people with MS display clinically significant gait impairments. Initial gait lab "gold standard" data indicate that the Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based digital biomarker will prove to be highly effective at detecting changes in the MS patient's condition.
China National Registry of Neuro-Inflammatory Diseases
Multiple SclerosisNMO Spectrum Disorder5 moreCentral nervous system (CNS) idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating diseases (IDD) are mainly diseases caused by autoimmune factors that result in CNS demyelination damage and loss. It tends to accumulate in the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. Multiple sclerosis (MS), clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) are all common IDDs of the CNS. Besides, primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS), autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy (GFAP-A), etc. may also be included because they are important differential diagnoses. This study will establish a large prospective cohort study database of Chinese IDD, which will record detailed electronic information on IDD patients, including demographic and socioeconomic data, medical history, clinical information, medication, and relevant examination results. The long-term observational study will be used to understand the natural history of disease, disability progression rates, imaging and biological indicators, long-term treatment approaches and prognosis of Chinese patients with IDD, to find predictive markers for IDD progression and prognosis, and to identify factors that influence the treatment and prognosis of patients with IDD.

Swiss Multiple Sclerosis Registry
Multiple SclerosisThe Swiss Multiple Sclerosis Registry is a national, patient-centered registry with the aim to document the epidemiology of multiple sclerosis (MS), as well as the quality of life of persons living with MS in Switzerland.
Vibration Training for Preventing Falls in Healthy Population and Multiple Sclerosis
Falls PreventionThis study is to investigate the effects of controlled whole-body vibration training on reducing the likelihood of falls among healthy population and people with multiple sclerosis. (NOTE: research not covered by sponsored funding)
Biomarkers of Synaptic Damage in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple SclerosisParkinson Disease2 moreA prospective and retrospective cohort study of about five years will be performed on blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples taken for diagnostic reasons from recruited patients within the Neuromed Neurology Unit. Subjects with other chronic neurodegenerative diseases such as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), and healthy subjects subjected to blood sampling and / or lumbar puncture for clinical reasons will be recruited As control groups.
Assessment of tDCS-Induced Neuronal Responses in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) With Advanced MRI
Multiple SclerosisThe objective of this trial is to measure the changes in neural activities during tDCS session using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Participants (N=60) (20 Healthy Controls and 40 participants with neurological disorders, ie. multiple sclerosis) will be recruited to complete self-report measures and a brief cognitive assessment and then undergo an hour long stand-alone MRI scan while simultaneously undergoing tDCS stimulation. Methodology for this study is the administration of 15-minutes of of active tDCS during MRI acquisition compared to time without active tDCS.
Measurement of Relaxin Peptide in Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Multiple SclerosisRelapsing-RemittingThis study will evaluate relaxin (RLX) levels in patients with multiple sclerosis.
