Effectiveness of a Schema Therapy on Anxiety in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis .a Randomized Control Study in 106Persian Patients With Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS)
It is a multicentric randomized and controlled study comparing a Scheme therapy program versus local practice in RRMS patients with anxiety. Patients will assist to twenty once-weekly group sessions with a 6-month follow up after the end of the programme. The main criteria is the impact of schema therapy on anxiety evaluated by the questionnaires at the end of the program and at the end of the 6-month follow-up.

The Effect of Alemtuzumab on the Blood-brain-barrier and Cerebral Metabolism in Multiple Sclerosis Patients; a New MRI Method for Treatment Response Evaluation in Multiple Sclerosis
The development and progression of multiple sclerosis seem to be driven by concomitant inflammation and, to a less well-defined degree, disturbances in metabolism of individual cells of the human central nervous system as well as changes in the dynamical supply of blood to the brain. These alterations in normal physiology can be quantified by investigating the change in specific parameters over the time course of multiple sclerosis evolution. Amongst these specific parameters, the ability of the so-called blood-brain-barrier to selectively filter nutrients from the blood stream prior to passage into the nervous tissue, is disrupted in multiple sclerosis, and the severity of this deficiency seem to be related to the underlying disease burden. The present study utilises a novel imaging technology in order to monitor changes in the integrity of the blood-brain-barrier over the course of treatment with a biological disease modifying agent known as alemtuzumab. Alemtuzumab is a potent immunosuppressant drug. It is hypothesised that alemtuzumab reverts the deficiency in blood-brain-barrier integrity and, conversely, the severity of blood-brain-barrier disruption at several time points during alemtuzumab treatment can be utilised as prognostic marker for the requirement of additional administration of alemtuzumab beyond the regular treatment regimen. In addition, several other factors are investigated by advanced imaging techniques in combination with blood and urine samples in order to elucidate the possible underlying mechanism of alemtuzumab efficacy. It is hypothesized that alemtuzumab normalises metabolic alterations and changes in the blood supply through resolution of inflammation in the brains of multiple sclerosis patients.

Study to Investigate the Immune Response to Influenza Vaccine in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis on Teriflunomide Treatment and Using a Population of Patients With Multiple Sclerosis as a Reference
Primary Objective: Assess the antibody response to influenza vaccine in patients with relapsing form of multiple sclerosis (RMS) treated with teriflunomide compared to a reference population. Secondary Objectives: - Assess the effect of teriflunomide on immunoglobulin levels; - Assess the safety of influenza vaccination in patients with RMS treated with teriflunomide. The reference population was defined as multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with a stable treatment with interferon-β-1. Antibody response was measured using hemagglutination inhibition assay (HIA) and the hemagglutinin antigens representing the stains of H3N2, H1N1, and B as present in the influenza vaccine used.

A Multi-centre and Prospective Trial to Evaluate the Effects on Multiple Sclerosis Related Fatigue During Treatment With Tysabri in Patients With Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Over the Course of 12 Months
The primary objective of this trial is to observe the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) related fatigue during treatment with Tysabri as measured by changes in the fatigue scale for motor and cognitive functions (FMSC) over the course of 12 months. The secondary objectives are: To investigate changes in fatigue, capacity for work, Health Related Quality of Life (HRQol), sleepiness, cognitive impairment, physically activity induced exhaustion, speed of walking, status of MS disease progression and amount of walking at different times points after initiation of Tysabri treatment in participants diagnosed with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). Changes in fatigue are measured at 3, 6 and 9 months, whereas changes in capacity for work, HRQoL, sleepiness, cognitive impairment, physical activity induced exhaustion, speed of walking, status of MS disease progression and amount of walking are measured at 6 and 12 months. To investigate correlation between fatigue and cognitive impairment, depression and physically activity induced exhaustion and status of MS disease progression in participants at baseline, 6 and 12 month of treatment with Tysabri and to document any changes in fatigue related medication.

Study of Brain Activations and Physiological Responses Using NeuroBiofeedback in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis.Study of Brain Activations and Physiological Responses Using NeuroBiofeedback in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by inflammation, demyelination, gliosis, and neuronal loss. Neurological symptoms may include visual disturbances, numbness and tingling, focal weakness, bladder and bowel incontinence, and cognitive impairment. Some previous studies have indicated that the NeuroBiofeedback (NBF) technique could be a promising new treatment for the rehabilitation of many neurological disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, including MS. Several studies have investigated the beneficial effects of this technique on the motor and cognitive outcomes of MS, mainly aiming to evaluate motor performance, fatigue and chronic pain. Few studies have focused on the evaluation and treatment of cognitive processes with NBF, except for one study on information processing speed. Specifically, regarding the application of NBF techniques in MS, recent literature has demonstrated that modulation of the alpha-theta rhythm has led to an improvement in attentional processes with consequent reduction in anxiety. Therefore, the objective of this study is to verify the effectiveness of NBF training on the modulation of cortical activity and physiological responses through the exposure of subjects with MS to cognitive tasks and training for mood regulation.
