Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of two delivery models of an evidence-based complementary alternative medicine (CAM) program that combines neurorehabilitative (functional) exercise, yoga, and Pilates for adults age 18-70 with multiple sclerosis (MS). CAM will be delivered as a 12-week program through two different delivery forms: On-site at a clinic (DirectCAM) and telerehabilitation (TeleCAM). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these two groups. **On March 16th, 2020, the University of Alabama at Birmingham halted all onsite non-essential research in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Since then, the study has begun to conduct all testing remotely through videoconferencing technology. In addition, another study group, remote DirectCAM (rDirectCAM), has been incorporated into the study to continue the 12-week program delivery for newly recruited participants via videoconferencing technology.**
This is a pilot study looking at the feasibility of a mobile application (app) to collect data from active tasks (questionnaires, 6Mapp™, COGapp™, VISapp™), clinical magnetic resonance imaging information and conduct genome-wide association studies in subjects with multiple sclerosis. Participants will be self-referred to this study from different sources; patient advocacy groups, social media tools, clinicaltrials.gov, and flyers.
This study assesses the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of suvorexant in multiple sclerosis patients. Enrolled subjects will receive 2 weeks of treatment during treatment period 1 with either suvorexant or matching placebo (1:1). After treatment period 1, subjects will undergo a washout period of 1 week then 2 weeks of the alternate treatment (either suvorexant or placebo). The primary hypothesis is that suvorexant will provide greater improvement in sleep, as measured by symptom rating scales, compared to placebo.
The specific aim of the study in our example is to conduct a feasibility translational home-based exercise trial established in the LEADERS (R2) project with the TExt-ME tele-exercise training system for participants with neurologic disability. We hypothesize that participants in this home-based tele-exercise training program will achieve similar gains in health and function outcomes as the onsite exercise training program. Further, there will be no difference in adverse side effects (safety) between the home-based and onsite exercise treatment groups.
This study evaluates different optimized MRI sequences for the detection of brain lesions in patients with multiple sclerosis in comparison with the recommended FLAIR sequence
This study lies in the continuity of the study with identification number NCT02805634. It will be performed on the same group of patients and will aim to assess the manual dexterity, in order to better assign kinesitherapy treatments and increase the utilisation capacity of the hand.
Participants will receive intensive therapy through a video game in their own homes for 1 month. The game is operated by movements of the body (no controller needed) and acts like a virtual therapist. Participants will agree to play the game for 30 hours. They will also receive 4 home visits from a therapist designed to increase use of their arm for daily activities that are important to them. Participants will also receive a smart watch that will measure use of their weaker arm and alert them when their arm is not participating in activities. Arm strength and function will be measured before and after the therapy program.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the utility of two gastrointestinal (GI) symptom scales (Individual GI Symptom and Impact Scale {IGISIS} and Global GI Symptom and Impact Scale {GGISIS}) in assessing GI tolerability in adult subjects with RRMS after administration of ALKS 8700 or Dimethyl Fumarate (DMF) in Part A, to compare the GI tolerability of ALKS 8700 and DMF in adult subjects with RRMS using IGISIS and GGISIS in Part B, and to Evaluate the safety and tolerability of ALKS 8700 in adult subjects with RRMS in Parts A and B.
The primary objective of the study is to investigate whether topical Vitamin K application reduces the grade of erythema in comparison with a vehicle cream (placebo) through physicians' assessment and participant self-assessment. The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate in this study population: effects of Vitamin K in reducing the burning sensation and local pain; effects of Vitamin K in reducing the erythema diameter; and the evaluation of participants' satisfaction related to the injection treatment.
The purpose of this crossover trial is to investigate whether atomoxetine (versus placebo) improves memory function in persons with memory deficits due to multiple sclerosis.
