Clinical Trial Summary

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent cause of non-traumatic disability in people under 55 years of age. Fatigue is the most frequent and disabling symptom in the disease, and for which there is no effective treatment. Among the proposed drugs, amantadine is the one that could be most useful, although up to now it has not been adequately demonstrated due to a lack of sufficiently powerful and methodologically appropriate clinical trials. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has recently been proposed as a useful treatment for fatigue in MS in preliminary studies.


Clinical Trial Description

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent cause of non-traumatic disability in people under 55 years of age. Fatigue is the most frequent and disabling symptom in the disease, and for which there is no effective treatment. Among the proposed drugs, amantadine is the one that could be most useful, although up to now it has not been adequately demonstrated due to a lack of sufficiently powerful and methodologically appropriate clinical trials. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has recently been proposed as a useful treatment for fatigue in MS in preliminary studies. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the change in the severity of fatigue in MS patients undergoing treatment with amantadine, TMS and both in combination, compared to placebo. A randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover, double-blind clinical trial will be conducted. As secondary objectives, changes in cognition, depression and quality of life will be evaluated. For all this, the reference scales adequately validated for each of the objectives will be used. ;
