Kinematic Assessment In Multiple Sclerosis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects more than a 120,000 people in the United Kingdom and is the commonest neurological condition in young adults. MS causes a number of symptoms including weakness, altered sensation, pain and memory difficulties. There are different forms of MS, including relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), primary progressive MS (PPMS) and secondary progressive MS (SPMS). Currently there are several effective treatments for RRMS, but no NICE approved treatment for SPMS. Patients with PPMS and SPMS experience a gradual progression in disability that affects individual patients differently. A number of clinical scores are used to quantify the disability in individual patients and some of these scores focus on the patients' lower limb function. In the progressive forms of MS, preservation of upper limb function becomes a more important concern for patients to maintain their quality of life. With the advent of new treatment trials for PPMS and SPMS, it is important that clinicians and researchers are able to use accurate and quantifiable measures of upper limb function to evaluate any changes with time or response to treatment. The use of motion tracking software provides a unique opportunity to accurately track movements in real time and space and give a tailored assessment of an individual's function. The overall aim of this study is to use established kinematic assessment tools to explore the extent and progression of upper limb dysfunction in patients with progressive MS. This aim will be achieved via the following objectives: - Recruit a sample of participants with PPMS and SPMS from the local MS population - Quantify the physical impairment in these participants using existing clinical scores as well the kinematic assessment tools that have been developed - Follow-up the participants for a period of 12 months to identify and quantify any progression in their upper limb dysfunction - Identify any factors that may influence upper limb dysfunction in this group - Develop and evaluate the role of further kinematic techniques in this group of participants

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.
