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.

Feasibility and Safety of the 360-degree Turn Test Delivered Via Telehealth
Walking, balance problems and falls are common in patients with multiple sclerosis. The 360-degree turn test is a test used to evaluate balance. Telerehabilitation is a rehabilitation system that has been increasingly used in recent years. Still, there is a need for studies on whether there is any difference between face-to-face evaluations with patients and telehealth methods. This study aims to investigate the feasibility and safety of the 360-degree turn test delivered via telehealth.

Feasibility of Neuromodulation With Connectivity-Guided iTBS for Cognitive Impairment in MS
Cognitive difficulties can affect many people who live with multiple sclerosis (MS). These difficulties, such as within thinking, memory, and problem solving, can have an impact on important aspects of an individual's life, including their daily activities, work, and how they manage their condition. Previous studies have suggested that cognitive difficulties affect approximately 40-70% of people living with MS, yet there are currently no treatments to target these problems. Recent research has directed towards a non-invasive intervention which stimulates a part of the brain (called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, or DLPFC for ...

Feasibility of Remote Exercise Training for Hispanics/Latinos With MS
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the potential benefits of a specially designed exercise program for Hispanics/Latinos with multiple sclerosis (MS). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can a 4-month remotely-delivered exercise training program improve physical function, symptom management, and quality of life in Hispanics/Latinos with MS? - How do social determinants of health, such as income, education, access to healthcare, and social support, influence the feasibility and effectiveness of the exercise intervention? Participants in this study will engage in a 4-month...

French Registry for Monitoring Pregnancies for Multiple Sclerosis
The influence of pregnancy on the course of multiple sclerosis (MS) has long been a controversial topic. After the publication of the first large prospective study of pregnancy and MS in 1998, counselling of women with MS has radically changed and many patients have been able to fulfill their desire of motherhood. However, there are still some challenges for the neurologist, who has to face old unanswered questions or new issues, regarding the use of disease modifying drugs (DMDs) in this period of life, effects on the short and long term outcome of the mother (in terms of relapses and disability) and the child, role of ...

From Genetics to Transcriptomics to Unravel the Mechanisms Behind a Poor Outcome in Multiple Sclerosis
MS is a heterogeneous disease either in its response to treatment or clinical manifestation. Indeed, the natural history of MS is varying from a benign condition to a devastating and rapidly incapacitating disease. Clinical heterogeneity could also be cellular and / or molecular. The aim is to identify from OMIC analyses, at the early stage of the disease, differentially expressed molecules and / or cell subpopulations derived from CD8 + T lymphocytes and / or CD4 + T lymphocytes and / or B lymphocytes and monocytes from patients with aggressive versus non-aggressive, compared to a cohort of healthy controls

Functional Electrical Stimulation Cycling for Managing Mobility Disability in People With Multiple Sclerosis
Mobility impairment is one of the most common, poorly managed, and life altering consequences of MS. Current therapies for managing MS do not prevent the long-term accumulation of mobility impairment, highlighting the need for alternative strategies that prevent or slow progressive mobility disability. The proposed trial will test the efficacy and lasting effects of functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling as an exercise-based rehabilitation strategy for managing mobility impairment and associated consequences in MS.

Functional Outcomes From Diets in Multiple Sclerosis
The purpose of this study is to test the effects of two dietary interventions, glycemic load and calorie restriction, on physical function, cognition, pain, fatigue, mood, and anxiety in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS). The investigators will also explore the how the diet interventions impact inflammation, immunity, and metabolic biomarkers.

Function Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Assess Two Therapeutic Strategies in Multiple Sclerosis (NeuroRehEM).
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that causes cognitive and motor disabilities and contributes to decrease patients life quality. Previous results described that there are some MS patients that showed (at least in some phases of the disease) neuroplasticity processes that are able to compensate some cognitive deficits. Moreover, neuroplasticity processes seem to be limited and related to the degree of gray matter atrophy (patients with less atrophy show grater neuroplasticity than those with higher atrophy level). The aims of this project are: 1. to study behavioral changes (post-training) induced by two different...

Gait and Balance Impairment in Rare and Very Rare Neurological Diseases
Rare and very rare neurological diseases primarily or exclusively affect the nervous system with a prevalence of < 5 out of 10'000 and 100'000 people, respectively. Besides these, there are undiagnosed neurological diseases: neurological conditions without a diagnosis after completing a full diagnostic examination. Rare, very rare, and undiagnosed neurological diseases are complicated and progressive and often cause variegated motor signs, impairments, and syndromes. Balance and gait are frequently affected in these conditions, already at the clinical examination. These balance and gait impairments limit activities and cause an...
