Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) Transplantation in MS

Relapsing-Remitting Multiple SclerosisSecondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis1 more

The study is an investigator-run, open-label Phase 1 safety study of autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplantation, involving approximately 24 ambulatory participants with relapsing forms of MS (approximately equal numbers with relapsing-remitting and secondary progressive/ progressive relapsing MS) and evidence of involvement of the anterior afferent visual system.

G-EO Gait Rehabilitation Training in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

The logistic advantages and advanced training capabilities of the G-EO System, as well as the benefits reported in other populations, support this strategy as a potentially potent rehabilitation tool for restoring and maintaining function in progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This approach represents a paradigm shifting opportunity for improving current clinical practices for patients with progressive MS. If successful, this project will provide initial evidence for increasing patient access to the G-EO System, and this could be accomplished through "regional technology centers" using a rural health-delivery approach. There are several novel aspects of the proposed trial: (1) the examination of a novel gait rehabilitation stimulus (G-EO System) that could alter current clinical practices; (2) the focus on patients with progressive MS who have gait impairment (i.e., those who have received minimal research attention), which was recently described as the greatest therapeutic challenge facing the MS community; and (3) a study design that accounts for standard therapy. Specific Aims: The investigators designed a single-blinded, randomized pilot trial of electromechanically-assisted gait training using the G-EO System in patients with progressive MS with gait disability (EDSS=4.0-7.5). Specific Aim 1 will establish the safety and feasibility of gait training using the G-EO System. Specific Aim 2 will determine the efficacy of gait training using the G-EO System for improving mobility, symptomatic, quality of life, and participatory outcomes.

Efficacy of Early Harvest Olive Oil in Cognition of Primary (PPMS) or Secondary (SPMS) Progressive...

Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

To date, no drug therapy has been approved for primary (PPMS) & secondary (SPMS) progressive multiple sclerosis. The urgent need to find new therapies - if possible with minimal side effects - led us to the search for the potential therapeutic effects of early harvest olive oil. The positive effect of phenol-rich, flavonoid and lignin-based olive oil on the modification of intestinal microbe populations and their by-products of metabolism is well known, such as the extent of gut-associated lymphoid tissue immune-stimulation due to antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties. The aim of this Greek, Randomized Clinical Trial, is to evaluate the effect of Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil on cognition and mental health of patients diagnosed with PPMS or SPMS. The patients will be evaluated once at the beginning of treatment, after 6 months of treatment and after twelve months of treatment, in order to specify the eficacy of extra virgin olive oil in holistic treatments for SPMS and PPMS

Follow-up Study of the Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Therapy in MS Patients

Multiple SclerosisChronic Progressive2 more

Different therapies can improve clinical and motor symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) similarly, but studies comparing the effects of different exercise therapies on clinical and motor outcomes are scant. We compared the effects of exergaming (EXE), balance (BAL), cycling (CYC), proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and a standard care wait-listed control group (CON) on clinical and motor symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in people with MS (PwMS). Methods: PwMS (n = 68, 90% female; age, 47.0 yr; Expanded Disability Status Scale score 5-6) were randomized into five groups. Before and after the interventions (five times a week for 5 wk), PwMS were tested for MS-related clinical and motor symptoms (Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29 (MSIS-29), primary outcome), QoL (EuroQol Five Dimensions Questionnaire), symptoms of depression, gait and balance ability (Tinetti Assessment Tool), static and dynamic balance and fall risk (Berg Balance Scale), walking capacity (6-min walk test), and standing posturography on a force platform. Patients were followed up for 2 years after 5 weeks of intensive care. Tests are performed every six months.

Intranasal Insulin for Improving Cognitive Function in Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple SclerosisRelapsing-Remitting4 more

This study will evaluate if giving insulin that is administered in the nostrils (intranasal) is safe and tolerable for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It is also being done to evaluate if intranasal insulin improves cognitive function in people with MS and to evaluate how it might be working.

Dimethyl Fumarate Treatment of Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

This study aims to evaluate safety and efficacy of dimethyl fumarate treatment in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). Half of the patients will receive dimethyl fumarate and the other half will receive placebo.

A Study of Ocrelizumab in Participants With Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple SclerosisPrimary Progressive

This randomized, parallel group, double-blind, placebo controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab in participants with primary progressive multiple sclerosis. Eligible participants will be randomized 2 : 1 to receive either ocrelizumab or placebo. The blinded treatment period will be at least 120 weeks, followed by an Open Label Extension (OLE) treatment for participants in both groups who in the opinion of the investigator could benefit from further or newly initiated ocrelizumab treatment. Unless terminated early, all participants may continue their treatment with open-label ocrelizumab until 31 December 2020.
