Filter by:The hypothesis of the study is that according to modern data, the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis is inextricably linked to the patient's microbiota. Therefore, transplantation of a normal fecal microbiota (FMT) can improve the outcome of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoHSCT) by increasing the disease-free period and disease progression suspension for at least 5 years after transplantation, which meets the NEDA (No Evidence of Disease Activity) criteria, satisfying the current trends of clinical neurology.
This is both a prospective and retrospective study of patients with a known diagnosis of optic neuritis (ON) only, multiple sclerosis (MS) with ON, or neuromyelitis spectrum disorder (NMOSD) with ON. There will be no requirement for blinding (patient or assessor) and data collected with the Reflex app will be compared against other data that track optic nerve functional status, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), visual fields (VF), low-contrast sensitivity, MRI orbits/brain and visual evoked potentials (VEP). Patients who have any diagnosis of ON, with or without a diagnosis of MS or NMOSD and who have had testing using other modalities such as VEPs, VF, low-contrast sensitivity studies, OCT, and MRI of brain or orbits will be included as retrospective subjects in the study. In this cohort, RAPD assessments will be completed and compared to against the data that has accrued as noted.
The study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of evobrutinib administered orally twice daily versus Interferon-beta-1a (Avonex®), once a week intramuscularly in participants with Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS).

Chronic fatigue is the most common and debilitating symptom in multiple sclerosis patients. This chronic fatigue affects their quality of life by decreasing their capacity to perform simple tasks of daily life. The aim of the present project is to determine whether deteriorated neuromuscular function (i.e. increased fatigability) is involved in this feeling of chronic fatigue. Because the causes of this feeling are multi-dimensional, a large battery of tests will allow us to better understand the origin of chronic fatigue. A better knowledge of chronic fatigue etiology will allow to optimize rehabilitation treatments to decrease the apparition/persistence of chronic fatigue and in fine improve quality of life.
This study was the extension of the double-blind study GLPG1690-CL-204 (NCT03798366). The main purpose of the study was to see how GLPG1690 was tolerated in participants with systemic sclerosis and whether there were any side effects in a long-term treatment period.
This study provides an opportunity for subjects in the REFALS (3119002; NCT03505021) study to continue treatment with oral levosimendan. The study will also provide more information about long-term safety and effectiveness of oral levosimendan in patients with ALS. This is an open-label study, so that all eligible subjects that complete the double-blind REFALS study (48-weeks of treatment) will have the opportunity to receive oral levosimendan treatment. The primary objective, in addition to continuing treatment for subjects enrolled in the REFALS study, is to evaluate long-term safety of oral levosimendan in ALS patients. Another important objective is to explore long-term effectiveness of oral levosimendan in the treatment of patients with ALS. This study is open only to patients taking part in the REFALS study.
Vascular comorbidities, such as high cholesterol, obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes, are common among people with multiple sclerosis (MS), and can negatively impact disease diagnosis, treatment, and progression. Physical inactivity may be one possible reason for this increased risk and may occur through changes in cardiorespiratory fitness (the ability of the body to transport and use oxygen during sustained physical activity). While exercise training is effective for improving fitness, factors such as accessibility to facilities and financial cost may not make it a viable option for most people with MS. An alternative approach for improving fitness is by increasing daily physical activity levels. The research team has developed and tested an Internet-delivered lifestyle physical activity intervention that has been shown to improve physical activity levels among people with MS. This lifestyle intervention is a promising approach for also increasing fitness and managing vascular comorbidity risk in persons with MS. This randomized clinical trial will examine the efficacy of a 6-month lifestyle physical activity intervention on cardiorespiratory fitness and vascular comorbidity risk in persons with MS.
The purpose of this study is to to determine how implementing a home-based virtual reality video (VR) game exercise program in young people with Multiple Sclerosis(MS) can improve disability outcomes by measuring its impact on cognitive assessments (BICAMS), subjective measures of cognitive, physical and psychosocial disability, and motor assessments (6MWT).
The primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of the Multiple Sclerosis Performance Test (MSPT) in a clinical care setting when used by participants with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
