Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term safety and efficacy of ublituximab therapy in participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS).
People with multiple sclerosis (MS) have variable adherence to MS medications, making the full efficacy of disease modifying therapies unrealized and the assessment of true treatment failures challenging. Whereas some patients forget to take medications due to active lifestyles, others may have cognitive impairments that prevent them from organizing and planning their regular dosing schedules. An electronic pill cap ("Pillsy") has been developed to record pill taking, timing, and set reminders through a mobile app. Data on adherence can be captured and analyzed remotely for health care provider review.
Serum and cerebrospinal fluid will be obtained from 20 patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis treated with teriflunomide tablets 14 mg daily
To evaluate active MS plaque evolution with conventional MRI, QSM-post processing, TSPO-PET imaging and P2X7-PET imaging.
The study aims to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of the video game-based physical activity training program in the inpatient period during relapse treatment. The secondary aims are to investigate its effectiveness on upper extremity functions, walking, balance, cognitive functions, quality of life, depression, and fatigue comparing to conventional rehabilitation in persons with multiple sclerosis.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients are characterized by thermoregulatory failure, known as Uthoff's phenomenon. Precisely, 60‑80% of the MS patients present adverse clinical symptoms when their body temperature is increased. Thus, the development of treatment strategies to overcome the thermoregulatory problem in these patients is crucial. Given that cooling has been proposed as an effective method, the aim of this study was to examine whether the application of head cooling therapy during an exercise training session is capable to prevent the core temperature increase and to improve the patient's functional ability and quality of life.
The primary objective of this sub-study is to calculate the reproducibility and other technical performance measures of various magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image analysis algorithms in order to assess their suitability for detecting changes due to multiple sclerosis (MS) in a real-world setting in participants with MS. The secondary objective of this sub-study is to use the primary endpoint results to calibrate measurements across scanners within each MS PATHS center.
This study evaluates a novel shared decision making tool for multiple sclerosis (MS). Half the patients will be given access to MS-SUPPORT before their scheduled appointment with their healthcare provider, the other half will not be given access.
Multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, is characterized by myelin, oligodendrocytes and axon damage. Physical exercises can be beneficial to patients, reduce fatigue and improve their strength, endurance and quality of life. Exercise has the potential to improve and / or preserve functionality, aerobic condition, strength, fatigue, health-related quality of life, depression, and cognition in MS patients. It has been reported that aerobic exercise increases muscle strength and endurance in peak oxygen intake and decreases fatigue and improves activity level, balance and walking patterns. It is important to control the problems caused by ataxia in MS patients, to improve balance and postural reactions and to increase proximal muscle and trunk stabilization. For this purpose, movements are voluntarily and graded. Progress in exercises is achieved by making changes in the speed, width and complexity of movement. However, Frenkel Coordination exercises for extremity ataxia are usually included in the physiotherapy and rehabilitation program. Little is known about the role and function of the iris in the nervous system with the discovery of Irisin and its precursor protein FNDC5. Evidence that the plasma level of iris increases during physical exercise suggests that it may also have beneficial and neuroprotective effects in the brain. Increased physical exercise has been shown to be associated with FNDC5 expression and ultimately more secretion of the iris. The effect of elevated plasma iris levels after aerobic exercise on functionality in MS patients is unknown. Moon et al. Observed that cellular proliferation in mouse hippocampus cells was dose-dependent due to iris. In spraque dawley-type male rats, the presence of significant iris in the myelin sheath of the skeletal muscle shows that this tissue is an important source of iris. Based on these findings, it is thought that exercise-induced iris, which is an important cause of disability in MS, may have beneficial effects on the recovery of normal function in these patients. Whether iris affects nerve conduction velocity will be determined by electromyography analysis before and after aerobic exercise. In addition, the relationship between aerobic exercise and motor and sensory function and iris will be investigated and evaluated with functional tests.
A randomized multiple baseline feasibility trial where participants will start taking metformin at one of 3 randomly determined points (3-months, 6-months or 9 months) during the 12-month trial. All subjects will be on a daily dose of metformin for a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 9 months.
