Filter by:The investigators seek to determine if the use of a Side Effect Aversion Calculator helps patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) more comfortably and rapidly identify the disease modifying drug (DMD) that is best suited for the patient.
The FLX-787-106 study will determine how well FLX-787-ODT works to reduce fasciculations in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The study will measure how often fasciculations occur, and monitor any side effects that might develop while taking the investigational product. Participants will be assessed before and after taking a single dose of FLX-787-ODT. Approximately 15 people will take part in this study at one center in the United States. Participants will be in the study for a single clinic visit and receive a telephone call 7 days later to monitor for side effects.
Over the last two years, the United States has witnessed enormous change concerning the acceptance of marijuana. The number of persons with MS (PwMS) using cannabis to treat their symptoms is expected to rise, and it is important to provide clinicians and PwMS with evidence based information on the safety and effectiveness of marijuana. In addition, scientists need to identify the effects of medical marijuana as the compound action of different cannabinoids, specifically tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). The ratio of CBD to THC may have an important impact on the effects of the marijuana, which in turn may have important implications for the medical benefits. The overarching goal of this study is to advance a better understanding of the potential positive and negative effects associated with different strains of marijuana, using an interventional design. The investigators will examine three strains that differ markedly on THC potency (A. THC <1%, CBD > 10%; B. THC >10%, CBD < 1%; C. THC 510%, CBD 510%) to determine whether the level of THC is associated with differences in motor and cognitive functions in PwMS. One hundred PwMS will be recruited for this project and followed for 3 months following designation to one of three strains of marijuana with different ratios of CBD to THC or a placebo marijuana (THC 0%, CBD 0%). It is hypothesized that the strains with a high CBD to THC ratios will demonstrate the most benefits on measures of motor and cognitive function.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the relative intraoperative improvement in perfusion between arterial reconstruction and sympathectomies with quantitative ICG. A minimum of 40 patients, 20 Sympathectomy Prior to Bypass (group 1) and 20 Bypass Prior to Sympathectomy (group 2), will be recruited for this study. This study will enroll participants in a one to one randomized study design. There is the potential risk of loss of confidentiality. The study involves the intraoperative assessment of perfusion by quantitative ICG. ICG is FDA approved for this usage and will be used according to its labeling. Assessment involves intraoperative quantitative ICG data, questionnaires, and patient and physician assessments. There are no additional physical risks associated with participating in this study over and above that of the planned arterial reconstruction (bypass) and sympathectomies.The information collected will be kept confidential and will comply with the HIPAA.
The purpose of this research study is to collect more information about the use, safety, and effectiveness of the NeuRx DPS® in ALS patients.
Fatigue is a major symptom in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), for which treatments are limited. Several studies have shown that a large proportion of men with MS have low testosterone levels. We propose a two-site clinical trial using topical testosterone gel as a treatment for MS-related fatigue in men with progressive MS who have low or low-normal testosterone levels.
Purpose of study is to determine safety and efficacy of use of autologous Adipose-Derived cellular Stromal Vascular Fraction (AD-cSVF) suspended in Normal Saline and delivered via intravascular system of quality of life and alteration of documented Muscular Sclerosis (MS) and related neurodegenerative patients. It is believed that the heterogeneous cell population which includes multipotent stem/stromal cells are capable of immune modulation/inflammatory modulation properties. Exam of disease progression and quality of life changes will be evaluated.
KML is a multicenter, prospective, uncontrolled and before/after study. The study aims to estimate if the use of Selfia ® adapted underwear reduces the necessary duration for the realization of self-catheterisation (SC) for patients affected by multiple sclerosis with severe to moderate disability. Secondly, the study aims to : - Estimate the effect of underwear on quality of life, tiredness linked to the act, comfort in the realization of SC, complications with SC, third party intervention ; - Collect patients' opinion on the use of the underwear SELFIA ® at the end of the 2nd week of evaluation ; - Measure if the patient reused underwear and if he bought it at 6 months and at 1 year
This study is designed to assess the effects of a therapeutic dose of arbaclofen extended release (ER) tablets compared with placebo on human sperm concentration, motility, and morphology in male subjects with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic multisystem disorder characterized by the development of hamartomas in several organs (e.g. brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung), and skin in more than 90% of cases. Facial angiofibromas (FA), present in about 80% of patients, are a stigmatizing hallmark of the disease. Everolimus could be a candidate for use as a topical formulation to treat FA. This adaptive seamless Phase II/III study primary objective is to determine the dose of topical everolimus for treatment of FA and evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical everolimus versus placebo in patients with angiofibromas.
