Participate in a Clinical Trial
Without the participation of people with MS, it would be impossible to develop new and better therapies and other interventions.

Exercise Training for Managing Major Depressive Disorder in Multiple Sclerosis
The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of two different exercise training regimens for managing depression and improving other health indicators among persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). The project will enroll persons with MS and major depressive disorder (MDD) between 18 and 64 years of age. The investigators will enroll a total of 146 participants. This is a Phase-II trial that compares the efficacy of an exercise training program (POWER-MS) compared with a stretching program (FLEX-MS) for immediate and sustained reductions in the severity of depression among persons with MS who have MDD.

Exergaming With Immersive Virtual Reality For People With Multiple Sclerosis (ExeRVIEM)
TITLE: Exergaming with Immersive Virtual Reality for people with Multiple Sclerosis INTRO: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune and chronic neurodegenerative pathology caused by loss of the myelin sheath in the nervous system, causing motor, cognitive, behavioral and sensory symptoms. Conventional physiotherapy often includes exercise therapies, based on repetitive performances that can sometimes be unmotivating for patients. Immersive Virtual Reality could offer programs based on exercise (exergames) that are motivating, as well as appropriate to the therapeutic objectives of the target group. This tool has already been...

EXOPULSE Mollii Suit, Motor Function & Multiple Sclerosis (EXOSEP 2)
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the improvement of motor functions related symptoms in patients with MS and spasticity using Exopulse Mollii suit stimulation in Multiple Sclerosis patients with spasticity. The main questions it aims to answer are: - to evaluate the short-term impact of EXOPULSE Mollii suit on balance in adult MS patients suffering from spasticity. - to assess the effects of EXOPULSE Mollii suit on mobility, upper and lower limbs muscle tone, pain, fatigue and quality of life. Participants will participate in: - One baseline visit for inclusion during which the...

EXOPULSE Mollii Suit, Spasticity, Muscular Oxygenation & Multiple Sclerosis (ENNOX 2)
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the improvement of muscular oxygenation in patients with Multiple Sclerosis and spasticity using Exopulse Molli suit stimulation. The main questions it aims to answer are: - to evaluate the short-term impact of EXOPULSE Molli suit on muscular oxygenation in adult MS patients suffering from spasticity. - to assess the effects of Exopulse Mollii suit on spasticity, pain, fatigue, quality of life (QoL), walking and risk of fall. Study subjects will participate in: - One baseline visit for inclusion in the study during which the patient will undergo the ...

Exploratory Study on the Timing of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Symptoms
The investigators' overall hypothesis is that appearance or worsening of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RR-MS) symptoms are affected by various factors including stress, hormonal cycles, illness and missed medications.

Exploring Cortical Remyelination in Children With Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) in children, a rare disease, follows a relapsing remitting course with a shorter interval between the first 2 clinical events and higher annualized relapse rate as compared with MS in adults. Residual deficits following clinical events are less frequent. The vast majority of children and adolescents with MS are thought to have a greater potential for myelin repair than adults. However convincing data in the literature to support this hypothesis are lacking, because until now no imaging technique has been validated to measure remyelination in vivo.

Exploring the Gut-Brain Axis in Ageing and Neurodegeneration
Neurodegenerative diseases are a major health concern due to their growing societal implications and economic costs. The identification of early markers of pathogenic mechanisms is one of the current main challenges. The gut-brain axis has become a primary target because of its transversal role across the neurodegenerative spectrum and its effect on cognition. However, despite recent progress, how changes in the gut-microbiota composition can affect the human brain is still unclear. The goal of this observational study is to characterise the gut-microbiota composition associated with alterations in brain structure and function...

Exploring the Profiles of RMS Patients on Ofatumumab or Ocrelizumab in a Real-World Setting in the Gulf
This is a retrospective and prospective, observational mixed-methods (quantitative and qualitative) cohort study of patients who are treated with either Ofatumumab or Ocrelizumab that will be recruited and followed up for one year to collect their profiles across the Gulf countries.

Fampridine-SR and Optic Neuritis Recovery
Optic Neuritis (ON) is a condition that occurs in approximately 50% of individuals with relapse remitting MS, and is the presenting event in 15-20% of patients who go on to develop MS. These ON events present with a decline in vision over several days with painful eye movements. The purpose of this study is to collect pilot data on the effect of Fampridine-SR on the recovery of visual function after demyelinating optic neuritis.Our team evaluated a person with ON who had incomplete recovery which was quite bothersome to her. After a one-month treatment course Fampridine SR,her visual functioning improved. Based on this case, we...

Feasibility and Effectiveness of a Mindfulness Program Delivered by Web to Patients During Hospitalization and Caregivers.
Hospitalization is often a traumatic event so stressful for the life of patients. Isolation, loneliness, worries about clinical examinations, results from examinations and final diagnosis, uncertainty about the future are the most common feelings that patients report when during hospitalized for different disease conditions; these feelings are not related to the pathological condition. Also the discomfort of the caregivers is significant, as the necessities and priorities of the family change significantly during the hospitalization of a member (worries about the future, help and support are not enough to sustain the situation,...
