Filter by:Objective of this protocol will be to evaluate the parameters related to the function of the musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory system, through a rehabilitation and training program for people with acquired central nervous system and multiple sclerosis. The study will consist of volunteers with acquired CNS lesions and multiple sclerosis of both sexes, between 18 and 85 years old, and who wander with or without aid devices, randomly divided into 3 groups: Group 1 (cardiopulmonary treatment), Group 2 (cardiopulmonary treatment and transcranial photobiomodulation application) and Group 3 (cardiopulmonary treatment and placebo laser). All groups will receive aerobic training on a treadmill (Moviment®) with the aid of a suspension equipment (BrainMov® Physical Activity Station). The transcranial photobiomodulation (laser diode, λ = 810 nm, beam area 0.028 cm², power of 100 mW, power density of 3.5 mW / cm², energy of 3 Joules / point and energy density of 107.1 J / cm2) will be applied on the skin / scalp and the International System 10-20 at points F7, F8 and AFz will be used as reference for irradiation. Muscular activation, heart rate variability, lung volumes and capacities, fatigability, exercise tolerance, cognition and quality of life will be evaluated before, during, at the end and after two months of rehabilitation. The treatment proposed in this study, using transcranial photobiomodulation, is expected to improve muscle, sensory, cardiorespiratory, cognitive functions and to interfere positively in the quality of life of the volunteers.
The development of in vivo biomarkers sensitive to myelin disruption represents a major clinical need to be able to monitor the demyelination processes as well as the effect of remyelinating therapies in multiple sclerosis. The investigators recently proposed a technique, derived from the conventional magnetisation transfer (MT): inhomogeneous Magnetisation Transfer (ihMT). In preliminary studies, this simple-to-implement and robust technique has shown great sensitivity for evaluating the demyelination processes. The goal of the project is to evaluate the ability of ihMT to measure and describe the spontaneous demyelination and remyelination processes involved in active lesions in a population of patients with MS at the the disease onset.
Phase I / II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of melatonin administration combined with ocrelizumab in patients with Progressive Multiple Primary Sclerosis.
It's a pilot, interventional prospective monocentric study. It aims to compare the wall / lumen ratio (WLR) of retinal arterioles (common marker of microangiopathies) between patients with multiple sclerosis and controls using the technique of adaptive optics.
