Digital Cognition in Multiple Sclerosis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

A DIGITAL THERAPEUTIC TO IMPROVE THINKING IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS WHO: 65 participants with a confirmed diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) WHY: Purpose of the study is to compare the effect of 2 tablet-based brain training digital tools on important components of thinking (cognition). WHAT: Complete a set of tests (physical and cognitive) at baseline, 6 weeks and 14 weeks, and use one of two brain training tools on an iPad in your home, for 25 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 6 weeks. WHERE: UCSF WEILL INSTITUTE FOR NEUROSCIENCES (675 Nelson Rising Lane, San Francisco, CA)

Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this study is to begin to test a brain training video game in people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Visit 1. After informed consent, you will complete a series of questions about your functioning and mood. You will then complete a series of tests (vision, hand tapping, walking). Then, you will complete a set of thinking tests. The first set will be paper and pencil. The second set will be on a tablet or a computer. You will use your study code to sign into these tools and you won't provide any personal details for the digitized tests. Finally, you will complete the "cognitive training tool". There are two versions of this digital, iPad based tool, which takes about 25 minutes to complete and is designed to be entertaining. You will be randomized into 1 of 2 groups: each group will play a version of the brain training game. You will not be told what group/game type you were randomized into. You will be given the tablet with the game on it to take home, and to practice this game 5 times a week for 6 weeks. Visit 2. After the 6 weeks of at-home training, you will then come back to the research study unit to do a repeat of the initial visit (with physical and cognitive assessments). At this study visit, you will also be returning the iPad. Visit 3. You will then return 8 weeks after Visit 2, to do a repeat of the assessments. You will be compensated for each study visit (visit 1: $50, visit 2: $100, visit 3: $150). ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
