Active clinical trials for "Sclerosis"

This is a single-centered, prospective, longitudinal, observational cohort study of patients with MS who suffer from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and are refractory to two prior treatment modalities who have elected to pursue PTNS therapy for LUTS.

The study aims to investigate the relationship between sleep quality, quality of life,other disorders and therapies in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients treated with Betaferon.

This study aims to evaluate potential predictors of adherence by investigating a representative cohort of MS patients in Germany treated with Betaferon

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate relapse activity, as measured by the proportion of participants relapsed at 12 months, in participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) who transition from Tysabri (BG00002) to Tecfidera (BG00012) in the real-world setting. The secondary objective is to further evaluate relapse activity, defined as annualized relapse rate (ARR), hospitalization and intravenous corticosteroid use, during the first year of Tecfidera treatment following transition from Tysabri treatment.

Recent research in multiple sclerosis (MS) have suggested that altered coagulation and vascular inflammation may play a role in pathophysiology of MS. Sonoclot is viscoelastic method of analyzing clot formation. This instrument will be used to compare coagulation in individuals with MS to healthy controls. A 24-hour dietary recall and food frequency questionnaire will help determine whether coagulation is modified by fish consumption.

In this study the investigators will use PET and 11C-Flumazenil to visualize and quantify neuronal injury in the cortex and the deep gray matter of Multiple Sclerosis patients at an early stage. The investigators will follow up patients to determine the prognostic value of this neuronal injury.

The primary objective of the study is to estimate the annualized relapse rate (ARR) over a 12-month period in patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) who are treated with dimethyl fumarate (DMF) after suboptimal response to glatiramer acetate (GA). The secondary objectives of this study in this study population are to assess the impact of DMF over a 12-month period on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and health economic-related outcomes and to evaluate additional clinical outcomes at Month 12.

The primary objective of the study is to prospectively evaluate pregnancy outcomes in women with multiple sclerosis who were exposed to a Registry-specified Biogen Multiple Sclerosis product during the eligibility window for that product. The Registry-specified Biogen MS products being studied are dimethyl fumarate, and Pegylated human interferon beta-1a. The secondary objective of the study is to prospectively evaluate pregnancy outcomes in women with MS who were unexposed to disease-modifying therapies (DMTs).

The aim of this prospective non-interventional neuropsychological one visit study involving functional MRI (fMRI) is to ascertain emotional processing in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS) compared to healthy control subjects. In different experiments, the modulation of cognitive and motor responses by visual emotional information and the ability to discriminate visual emotional stimuli will be tested using experimental behavioral paradigms. Furthermore, functional connectivity and - using fMRI - activations of brain regions known to be involved with emotional processing will be evaluated.
