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.

A Digital Therapeutic to Improve Insomnia in Multiple Sclerosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effectiveness of digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (dCBT-I) compared with digital patient education about insomnia for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The main questions it aims to answer are whether dCBT-I is effective in reducing insomnia severity in people with MS, whether dCBT-I is effective in reducing daytime fatigue, psychological distress, cognitive problems, medication use (hypnotic, sedative/anxiolytic and antidepressant), resource utilization and if these changes are mediated by improvements in insomnia severity and whether dCBT-I is feasible...

Aerobic Training Effects on Motor and Cognitive Performances in MS: an Exploratory Study With Structural and Functional MRI
Aerobic training (AT) induces cardiovascular, metabolic and muscular changes and has been proposed as a promising rehabilitative approach in elderly adults and in neurological patients to improve both motor and cognitive performances. The Investigators wish to explore the role of AT in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients on physical and neuropsychological functions and its underlying anatomical and functional substrates, using advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods. In this project, the Investigators wish to apply aerobic training in right-handed MS patients and healthy controls to assess: 1. the effects of...

A Feasibility Pilot Study on Lee Silverman Voice Treatment-Loud: a Telerehabilitation Approach
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common causes of neurological disability in young adults. At least 62% of people with MS have speech, vocal, or communication disorders. Among these, alterations in voice intensity and quality constitute a limitation in MS people's social life leading to experience difficulties in work, conversations, and communication especially in noisy environments or through the telephone. Though voice and speech impairments and speech impairments are widely prevalent in this population, only 2% of the people receive speech therapy. The Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT)-Loud is a well-documented,...

AHSCT With Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide Based Conditioning Regimes in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
One of the possible options for the treatment of MS at present is a high-dose immunosuppressive therapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HIST-AHSCT), which is a highly effective treatment for patients with relapsing-remitting MS. This method of MS treatment was introduced in 1997. Significant complications and mortality associated with HIST-ATHSC is an obstacle to broad use of this method. The risk is even greater in patients with advanced disease, long duration of previous treatment and aggressive forms of MS. Despite toxicity certain progressive cases of MS are still an indication for...

Amantadine and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Treating Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent cause of non-traumatic disability in people under 55 years of age. Fatigue is the most frequent and disabling symptom in the disease, and for which there is no effective treatment. Among the proposed drugs, amantadine is the one that could be most useful, although up to now it has not been adequately demonstrated due to a lack of sufficiently powerful and methodologically appropriate clinical trials. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has recently been proposed as a useful treatment for fatigue in MS in preliminary studies.
