Filter by:In this studly, the effects of an 12-week aerobic exercise training in persons with multiple sclerosis with restless legs syndrome will be investigated.
The LIMS study is an observational study that investigates the effectiveness of an online lifestyle program for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The patients will be monitored during 27 months, starting 3 months prior to the start of the lifestyle program.
This is a Phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 18F-OP-801 in subjects with ALS, AD, MS, PD and age-matched HVs. 18F-OP-801 is intended as a biomarker for PET imaging of activated microglia and macrophages in regions of neuroinflammation.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of an interactive web-based program that supports nurse-led self-regulation in the management of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) on the self-management, fatigue and anxiety levels of patients with Multiple Sclerosis.
Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) is technique based on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). In this study, the investigators evaluate the use of IVIM in patients with Multiple Sclerosis.
The Radiologically Isolated Syndrome (RIS) corresponds to the discovery of white matter (WM) abnormalities suggestive of multiple sclerosis (MS) by their location, size, and appearance, on the brain or spinal cord Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This imaging is performed for a reason other than for suspicion of demyelinating disease in subjects without a history of neurological symptoms and a strict routine clinical neurological examination. It was defined and named in 2009 (Okuda et al.) after publishing 3 case series (French, USA, Turkey). The Radiologically Isolated Syndrome Consortium (RISC) published a cohort of subjects with an extended follow-up after the first brain MRI of MS, with 34% presenting an event (clinical conversion) at five years, 51.2 % of these subjects showed an event at ten years. The patients who offer a higher risk of developing a first clinical demyelinating event were identified such as male sex, young age, the presence of oligoclonal bands (BOCs) in the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF), the presence of infratentorial lesions and spinal cord lesions on the first MRI suggestive of RIS. The location and morphology of the lesions appear to be decisive for studying the risk of conversion. Our first objective is to prospectively collect data to identify the subjects who present a higher risk of developing a first clinical demyelinating event and the progression of the disease in these subjects. Among the objectives of this worldwide cohort is the analysis of (1) environmental factors (Vit D, EBV, tobacco…), (2) MRI biomarkers, including atrophy, central veins signs, paramagnetic rings, and DTI. (3) digital biomarkers (4) oculography (5) biological markers To summarize, this cohort will allow for analyzing features in imaging, biology and the exploration of digital and oculographic characteristics to identify predictive factors of clinical evolution of a large cohort of subjects presenting WM abnormalities suggestive of multiple sclerosis.
The Radiologically Isolated Syndrome (RIS) is defined as incidental Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) abnormalities fulfil the criteria for dissemination in space, suggestive of multiple sclerosis. Nowadays, mandatory vaccination in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) is widely recommended. Regarding COVID19, the absence of specific warnings led to the proposal of vaccination in patients with inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system. We aimed to evaluate if COVID19 vaccination or infection increased the risk of clinical conversion to multiple sclerosis or evidence of disease activity (EDA) in a cohort of RIS subjects.
Clinical study BCD-132-4/MIRANTIBUS is an international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-masked study using an active reference drug (teriflunomide). The goal of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BCD-132 in the treatment of patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis.
The aim of the study is to analyze the effects of Nordic Walking and free walking in the clinical-functional, postural balance, motor control, muscular echographic quality, and gait analysis (pendulum gait mechanism), in people with Multiple Sclerosis.
Many neuropsychiatric abnormalities associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). These may be broadly divided into 2 categories: disorders of mood, affect,and behavior and abnormalities affecting cognition. With respect to the former, theepidemiology, phenomenology, and theories of etiology are described for the syndromes ofdepression, bipolar disorder, euphoria, pathological laughing and crying, and psychosisattributable to MS. Finally,treatment pertaining to all these disorders is reviewed, with the observation thattranslational research has been found wanting when it comes to providing algorithms toguide clinicians. Guidelines derived from general psychiatry still largely apply, althoughthey may not always be most effective in patients with neurologic disorders. The importance of future research addressing this imbalance is emphasized, forneuropsychiatric sequel add significantly to the morbidity associated with MS.(1) The evolution of the neuropsychiatry of multiple sclerosis(MS), with a set sequence of events unfoldingoverthecourseofacenturyormore,providesahistoricalparadigmforotherneurologicdisorders .Accordingtotheparadigm,aclinically astute neurologist, whom posterity will treat kindly,first describes the neurologic (and occasionally, the psycho-logical) signs and symptomsthat cometo define the disorder.

Invariably, the data reveal major psychiatric problems integral to the disease, and then, with fewexceptions, clinical research stops. Few double-blind,placebo-controlled treatment trials in neuropsychiatry provide an evidence-based approach to treating the newly discernedbehaviouralabnormalities. ThelifetimeprevalenceofmajordepressioninMS isapproximately 50% (2). A meta-analysis suggests that this is higherthan in other neurologic disorders (3) and, depending on thereferencepoint,is3to10 timestherateinthegeneral population (4). While the basic phenomenology of the MS depressive syndrome overlaps with that found in primarydepression, certain symptoms are more typical, while othersoccur less commonly.
