Filter by:The overall objective of the proposed randomized controlled (RCT) is to determine the feasibility and efficacy of a 16-week theory-based, remotely-delivered, combined exercise (aerobic and resistance) training intervention for improving cognitive and physical function in older adults (50+ years) with multiple sclerosis (MS) who have mild-to-moderate cognitive and walking impairment. Participants (N=50) will be randomly assigned into exercise training (combined aerobic and resistance exercise) condition or active control (flexibility and stretching) condition. The 16-week intervention will be delivered and monitored remotely within a participant's home/community and supported by Zoom-based chats guided by social cognitive theory (SCT) via a behavioral coach. Participants will receive training materials (e.g., prescriptive manual and exercise equipment), one-on-one coaching, action-planning via calendars, self-monitoring via logs, and SCT-based newsletters. It is hypothesized that the home-based exercise intervention will yield beneficial effects on cognition, mobility, physical activity, and vascular function compared with an active control condition (flexibility and stretching intervention), and these improvements will be sustained during a 16-week follow-up period.
This study assessed the long-term safety and tolerability of ADS-5102 in subjects with MS and walking impairment who had completed the double-blind, placebo-controlled study of ADS-5102 in subjects with MS (ADS-AMT-301).
This study assessed the efficacy and safety of ADS-5102 (at daily doses of 137 mg or 274 mg) compared with placebo in MS patients with walking impairment.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-arm, parallel group study of ADS-5102 extended release (ER) capsules, an investigational formulation of amantadine, dosed once daily at bedtime for the treatment of walking impairment in MS. ADS-5102 is designed to be administered once daily at bed time, ADS-5102 achieves higher plasma amantadine concentrations in the early morning, sustained throughout the afternoon, and lower concentrations in the evening when patients are sleeping. ADS-5102 is designed to deliver its primary treatment effect during the day, and potentially reduce the adverse events of immediate-release amantadine when the patient is asleep.
Background: - Many people who have had a traumatic brain injury have difficulty walking. Training on a treadmill is often used to help people with walking difficulties. Supporting a person s body weight with a harness while using the treadmill can help improve walking skills in people with brain injury. Varying the rate at which people walk on the treadmill may also help more than walking at a constant rate. Treadmill training with body weight support or walking at different speeds may improve walking skills in people who have had a traumatic brain injury. More research is needed to see if one method is better than the other. Objectives: - To compare the effects of two types of treadmill training in people who have had a traumatic brain injury. Eligibility: - People at least 18 years of age who have had a mild or moderate traumatic brain injury at least 6 months ago and have mild or moderate walking difficulty. Design: - Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will also take a basic walking test (not on a treadmill). - Participants will be divided into two groups. The first group will have treadmill training at a constant speed. The second group will have treadmill training at different speeds. All participants will wear a support harness while walking on the treadmill. - At the first training visit, participants will have a gait assessment with different tests of walking. Then they will have a treadmill walking session. - After the first visit, participants will return twice a week for 6 weeks for treadmill training sessions (visits 3 through 12). They will also have grip strength and walking tests. - At the end of 6 weeks, participants will have a final treadmill training session, and will have a gait assessment exactly like the one in the first training visit. - At 6 months after the final session, participants will have a followup visit with a final gait assessment.
