Filter by:The overarching aim is to assess the role of microglial activation and norepinephrine transporter binding in pathogenesis of MS-related fatigue, using novel Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radiotracers, [F-18]PBR06 and [C-11]MRB. Specific Aims: Specific Aim 1: To determine the relationship of cerebral microglial activation, as assessed by [F-18]PBR06 PET, with MS-related fatigue. Specific Aim 2: To determine the relationship of norepinephrine transporter (NET) binding, as assessed by [C-11]MRB PET, with MS-related fatigue. Specific Aim 3: To determine the relationship of microglial activation and NET binding, with grey matter pathology (lesion load and brain atrophy) assessed using 7T MRI, and evaluate their independent contribution in development of MS-related fatigue.
This study will be a cross-sectional observational study, followed by a pilot intervention. The aim of the study is to examine the underlying causes of walking-related performance fatigability, together with other related and influencing factors, to make up a clinical profile of patients with MS showing walking-related performance fatigability. In the second part of the study a pilot intervention will be executed to see if the investigators can improve the clinical status of the MS patients with walking-related performance fatigability.
During 10 weeks the subjects will use a mobile application (Walk with Me). The aim of this study is to investigate the usability of the mobile application, as well as investigating if the mobile application effects walking.
This Stage II randomized, controlled, longitudinal trial seeks to assess the acceptability, feasibility, and effects of a driving decision aid use among geriatric patients and providers. This multi-site trial will (1) test the driving decision aid (DDA) in improving decision making and quality (knowledge, decision conflict, values concordance and behavior intent); and (2) determine its effects on specific subpopulations of older drivers (stratified for cognitive function, decisional capacity, and attitudinally readiness for a mobility transition). The overarching hypotheses are that the DDA will help older adults make high-quality decisions, which will mitigate the negative psychosocial impacts of driving reduction, and that optimal DDA use will target certain populations and settings.
This is a multicenter, longitudinal, single-arm, open-label study to describe the change from baseline in cognitive processing speed, measured by the SDMT, in subjects with RMS treated with ozanimod HCl 1 mg at 3 years. All subjects will receive orally administered ozanimod HCl 1 mg. The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of subjects with a clinically meaningful increase in raw score of ≥ 4 points or 10% from baseline (improved). The treatment period is 36 months. For all subjects who finish the subject and for those who discontinue, there will be a 30-day (± 15 days) and a 90-day (± 10 days) Safety Follow-up Visit. There is no planned protocol extension following the end of the study. Approximately 250 subjects with RMS will be recruited for this study. Subjects with RMS will be enrolled in this study if they have received ≤ 1 DMT, have an EDSS ≤ 3.5, and have been diagnosed with RMS within 5 years of study entry. The Investigator will be responsible for the overall conduct of the study at the site, confirmation of subject eligibility, routine study subject clinical management including for MS relapses, and management of AEs.
This is a multicentre observational study which involves 43 of the major Italian centres that treat MS. The duration expected for the study participation of each subject was exclusively the necessary one for the screening visit and execution of the ecocolor-Doppler test, which could have also been executed on the same day.
Physical exercise can prevent falls, certain types of exercise may be more effective. Perturbation-based balance training is a novel intervention involving repeated postural perturbations aiming to improve control of rapid balance reactions. The purpose of this study was to estimate the effect of perturbation- based balance training on falls and balance in daily life.Thirty patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) will assess with regard to dynamic balance, walking and falling. Patients randomly will allocate to a personalized (PRG) or traditional (TRG) rehabilitation group.
Urinary disorders (UD) are common in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and can necessitate using Intermittent Self Catheterisation (ISC). It is well experienced by patients, has little impact on daily life and improves quality of life. However, studies are lacking on long-term adherence to this treatment as well as on discontinuation factors. Our main objective is to prospectively assessed factors associated with ISC discontinuation 2 years after having introduced this technique.
This is both a prospective and retrospective study of patients with a known diagnosis of optic neuritis (ON) only, multiple sclerosis (MS) with ON, or neuromyelitis spectrum disorder (NMOSD) with ON. There will be no requirement for blinding (patient or assessor) and data collected with the Reflex app will be compared against other data that track optic nerve functional status, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), visual fields (VF), low-contrast sensitivity, MRI orbits/brain and visual evoked potentials (VEP). Patients who have any diagnosis of ON, with or without a diagnosis of MS or NMOSD and who have had testing using other modalities such as VEPs, VF, low-contrast sensitivity studies, OCT, and MRI of brain or orbits will be included as retrospective subjects in the study. In this cohort, RAPD assessments will be completed and compared to against the data that has accrued as noted.
This is a prospective study that aims to collect and review neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) data from African American patients with a known diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). It is an investigational study, prospective in nature. No randomization of patients will be done. Information collected includes: Age, gender, age at diagnosis, MRI data (access to images), clinical presentation, findings on clinical examination, lab (blood and evoked potentials) and LP test results, eye exam findings if any and treatment, if started. Additional details may include other NEUROLOGICAL diseases which are also diagnosed (if any).
