Filter by:In this study the researchers want to investigate the effects of long-term transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on the cortical excitability of persons with multiple sclerosis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether melatonin is effective in the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients as a supplement to the main disease-modifying drugs.
In the current study the researchers will firstly investigate whether a bimanual coordination training protocol (20 min/day, for 8 consecutive weeks) correlates with changes in white matter architecture and improved upper-limb functionality in patients with multiple sclerosis. Secondly, the researchers predict that motor learning is more efficient when it is combined with anodal transcranial direct current (tDCS) stimulation on the left primary motor cortex.
Incomplete remission after an optic neuritis attack is not uncommon. Visual reconstitution therapy is a software-based approach that has been shown to substantially improve residual visual field deficits in patients with pre- and postchiasmatic lesions. The primary hypothesis of this randomized, controlled clinical trial is, that visual reconstitution therapy is superior to active comparator treatment in improving the visual field after optic neuritis.
Impairment of visual deficits, in particular contrast acuity and contrast impairment are frequent symptoms in MS. However, visual function is not appropriately covered by the standard tools for clinical assessment, namely, the EDSS and the MSFC. The primary aim of this study is to investigate, whether in MS patients contrast acuity and sensitivity change over a period of two years. Secondary aims are the correlation of visual contrast parameters with structural retinal changes and quality of life.
The primary objective is to assess the quality of life of intramuscular (IM) Interferon Beta-1a in participants with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) or Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS) in a clinical practice setting.
The association of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Fabry disease is known from own clinical experiences as well as from case reports in the literature, where symptoms and suspicious results in the brain MRI led to the misdiagnosis of Fabry patients as MS. Remarkably, those patients almost never showed oligoclonal bands or an intrathecally derived IgG-production was wrongly assumed due to misinterpretation of CSF results. Where oligoclonal bands were present, concomitant diagnoses had to be discussed. Furthermore, those patients showed no involvement of the spinal cord, as evidenced by MRI. Beside the possible complications of a not-effective and not-necessary MS therapy, those patients are at risk of irreparable organ damage due to the delayed implementation of enzyme replacement therapy for Fabry disease.
The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of endovascular treatment (balloon angioplasty and/or stenting) for the improvement of clinical symptoms in multiple sclerosis patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether lithium carbonate is safe, well-tolerated, and effective at treating progressive forms of multiple sclerosis.
Phase 1 study of 19-nor Vitamin D in relapsing-remitting MS. Primary measure is MRI.
