Filter by:Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients are characterized by thermoregulatory failure, known as Uthoff's phenomenon. Precisely, 60‑80% of the MS patients present adverse clinical symptoms when their body temperature is increased. Thus, the development of treatment strategies to overcome the thermoregulatory problem in these patients is crucial. Given that cooling has been proposed as an effective method, the aim of this study was to examine whether the application of head cooling therapy during an exercise training session is capable to prevent the core temperature increase and to improve the patient's functional ability and quality of life.
The primary objective of this sub-study is to calculate the reproducibility and other technical performance measures of various magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image analysis algorithms in order to assess their suitability for detecting changes due to multiple sclerosis (MS) in a real-world setting in participants with MS. The secondary objective of this sub-study is to use the primary endpoint results to calibrate measurements across scanners within each MS PATHS center.
This study evaluates a novel shared decision making tool for multiple sclerosis (MS). Half the patients will be given access to MS-SUPPORT before their scheduled appointment with their healthcare provider, the other half will not be given access.
A multinational, multicenter, randomized, Phase III, double blind, parallel group, placebo controlled study in subjects with Relapsing Forms of Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of GA Depot, a long acting IM injection of glatiramer acetate, administered once every four weeks
To date, no drug therapy has been approved for primary (PPMS) & secondary (SPMS) progressive multiple sclerosis. The urgent need to find new therapies - if possible with minimal side effects - led us to the search for the potential therapeutic effects of early harvest olive oil. The positive effect of phenol-rich, flavonoid and lignin-based olive oil on the modification of intestinal microbe populations and their by-products of metabolism is well known, such as the extent of gut-associated lymphoid tissue immune-stimulation due to antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties. The aim of this Greek, Randomized Clinical Trial, is to evaluate the effect of Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil on cognition and mental health of patients diagnosed with PPMS or SPMS. The patients will be evaluated once at the beginning of treatment, after 6 months of treatment and after twelve months of treatment, in order to specify the eficacy of extra virgin olive oil in holistic treatments for SPMS and PPMS
Dyspnea in systemic sclerosis (ScS) constitute a major factor of functional disability. Intensity of dyspnea is sometimes discordant with objectives data from cardiopulmonary involvements, suggesting unknown additional factors. Diffuse fibrosing myopathy of bad prognosis have been reported in ScS.To now, muscular respiratory involvement has not been evaluated in ScS. Therefore, ScS patients (with or without dyspnea) could have underlying respiratory muscular involvement not detected by current standard of care with pulmonary function tests (PFT). This project is the first, to the best of our knowledge, to assess frequency of respiratory muscular involvement in ScS and to evaluate a screening strategy of this involvement.
This is a multi-center, randomized, parallel arm, double-blind study with a total duration of subjects' participation of 48 weeks. Approximately 260 participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis will be randomized to receive 12 doses of either PB006 or EU-licensed Natalizumab.
The objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy, safety, and PK/PD effects of CNM-Au8 as a disease-modifying agent for the treatment of ALS by utilizing electrophysiological measures to detect preservation of motor neuron function. The primary endpoint is the mean change in the average difference between active treatment and placebo from Baseline through Week 36 evaluated by electromyography.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of cognitive rehabilitation in group with physical exercise in patients with Multiple Sclerosis. We assume that cognitive therapy is an effective treatment for multiple sclerosis.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common chronic neurological disease affecting young adults, with onset usually at the age 20-40 years. The disease is characterized by two main phenotypes: Relapse-Remitting MS (RR-MS) and Primary Progressive MS (PP-MS). RR-MS is the most common type of disease, for long-term management of the disease patients are treated with immunomodulatory drugs (IMD) which reduce disease activity. Response to therapy varies among patients. Presently there are no biomarkers available for diagnosis and routine follow-up of MS. Many MS patients suffer from unexpected relapsing episodes that influence dramatically their mental and physical conditions, with high stress levels, tremors, motoric disabilities, blindness and more. Therefore, early target treatment in relapse episodes is crucial, yet sufficient tools for predicting and identifying early symptoms of an upcoming relapse episode are not available. The investigators have most recently shown that breath VOCs can be used to classify among MS and non-MS patients. The major aims of the current proposal is to study the plausibility of skin based VOCs as biomarkers for MS diagnosis and To Identify and characterize skin-based VOCs as biomarkers of the clinical relapse and disease activity.
