Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Nicotinamide riboside (NR) for treatment of patients with progressive multiple sclerosis. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does NR delay disability progression in progressive multiple sclerosis? Participants will be treated with NR or placebo for 30 months,
The goal of this clinical trial is to improve walking speed, balance, and walking in the community for people with multiple sclerosis. This trial involves intense exercise combined with walking on a shaky treadmill. Walking on a shaky treadmill helps to practice balance and intense exercise promotes the ability to walk faster and farther. In this study, participants will train with a combination of high or low intensity, and with a stable or shaky treadmill. Walking speed and endurance, balance while walking and the number of steps taken in the community will be measured before, half way through the training (15 sessions), after training (30 sessions) and six months after training.
The only approved treatment for impaired ambulation in MS is Dalfampridine (also known as fampridine, 4-aminopyridine, 4-AP). Fampridine penetrates the blood-brain barrier and improves impaired axonal conduction by selectively blocking potassium channels. Moreover, further studies investigated the possible beneficial effect of dalfampridine on cognitive functions and fatigue. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of dalfampridine on gait impairment, cognitive functions and fatigue in a sample of Egyptian patients with multiple sclerosis.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of low-intensity combined exercises on balance, fatigue and quality of life applied to patients with ALS.
The goal is to investigate the feasibility and effects of adding "wearables for the bladder" devices to conventional pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) to bladder function, in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Action Observation Treatment (AOT) is a rehabilitative strategy which has been proposed as a promising approach to improve motor performance in neurological conditions, including multiple sclerosis (MS). In this clinical trial, the investigators aim to explore the role of a home-based AOT with virtual reality (VR) in improving upper limb motor function in people with MS (PwMS). The objectives are: - To compare the effects of home-based VR-AOT versus VR-landscape observation (LO) on upper limb motor performance; - To measure brain network functional changes (functional plasticity) and structural variations of gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) (structural plasticity) using advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques following VR-AOT and VR-LO; - To study the correlations between MRI changes and clinical improvements and the predictors of VR-AOT efficacy. All participants will undergo treatment sessions for 3 weeks (5 consecutive days/week, total=15 sessions lasting 30 minutes each). Those in the VR-AOT group will observe, imagine and execute two upper limb motor tasks in each session. Those in the VR-LO group will perform the same tasks, but they will observe inanimate landscapes beforehand instead.
Microparticles (MPs) as a mode of therapeutic delivery can selectively deliver immunomodulatory treatment to the phagocytic cells, particularly dendritic cells (DCs), inducing their tolerogenic phenotype and function and T regulatory (Treg) cell expansion. The study will characterize the in vitro response of cGAMP immunomodulator incapsulated microparticles on the capacity of DCs and Tregs to regulate the inflammatory response.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending intravenous (IV) (Part 1) and subcutaneous (SC) (Part 2) doses of RO7121932 and multiple ascending SC (Part 3) doses of RO7121932 in participants with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Phase 1 Safety Run-in Study of 6 patients followed by Phase 1b Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Control Trial of CK0803, neurotropic, allogeneic, umbilical cord blood derived T regulatory (Treg) cells in additional 60 patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
The study is a crossover randomized controlled trial investigating the effect of increasing engagement in cognitive leisure activities for individuals with multiple sclerosis.
