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.

Intrathecal Administration of DUOC-01 in Adults With Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis
This study is a prospective Phase 1a open-label single- center trial. It will assess the safety of intrathecal administration of DUOC-01 cells to adults with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS). DUOC-01 is a population of cells expanded from donated human umbilical cord blood cells and is intended for treatment of neurodegenerative and demyelinating diseases. There will be approximately 20 participants enrolled. Exploratory objectives include changes in MS assessment scores, changes in brain MRI findings, and changes in blood biomarkers.

Investigating Eye-Movement Biomarkers of Disease Severity and Cognition in Multiple Sclerosis
The overarching goal of this research protocol is to acquire eye-tracking, cognitive, and disease-severity metrics in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients to further build up a database of MS patients and train a machine learning classifying algorithms to identify which eye-tracking metrics-or combination thereof-can serve as reliable markers of MS disease severity and cognitive status.

Investigating the Effects of Wearable Robotic Exoskeleton for Improving Mobility and Cognition in Persons With MS
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the usefulness of a wearable robotic exoskeleton device (Ekso-GT), to improve learning and memory, and gait therapy in persons with walking disability due to Multiple Sclerosis. The study will evaluate the mobility, learning and memory, and walking abilities of individuals with multiple sclerosis who went through the traditional as compared to others who used the robotic exoskeleton as part of their therapy.

Investigating the Utility of Demyelination Tracer [18F]3F4AP in Controls and Multiple Sclerosis Subjects
Our overall objective is to obtain an initial assessment of the potential value of using [18F]3F4AP for imaging demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis: - Aim 1) Assess the safety of [18F]3F4AP in healthy volunteers and subjects with multiple sclerosis (MS). Hypothesis 1: Administration of [18F]3F4AP will result in no changes in vitals or other adverse events. - Aim 2) Assess the pharmacokinetics of a bolus infusion of [18F]3F4AP in humans including healthy volunteers and MS patients. Hypothesis 2: the pharmacokinetics of [18F]3F4AP at the whole brain level will be similar in controls and MS...

Investigation of Subclinical Markers of Multiple Sclerosis
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies reported consistent and substantial impairments in the central nervous system (CNS) in multiple sclerosis (MS). Studies of peripheral nervous system (PNS) function comprising electromyoneurography (EMNG) reported impairments of the PNS in MS that were less pronounced and inconsistent. Neurophysiological studies are generally small and cross-sectional and with the poor grouping of MS patients according to MS type. The objective of the study is to investigate clinical, neurophysiological, and immunological markers in relapsing-remitting MS patients, and in patients with...

Investigation of the Effectiveness of Craniosacral Therapy in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis.
Although the cause of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), one of the common demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system, has not yet been fully elucidated, autonomic nervous system dysfunction has been suggested in its etiology. Symptoms such as fatigue, problems with bladder, bowel, cardiovascular, sleep, sexual and sweating functions, abnormal sympathetic skin response or decreased heart rate variation support this hypothesis. In the treatment of many neurological diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, complementary medicine practices and non-traditional therapies have recently been shown to be effective in addition to conventional...

Investigation of the Effects of Local Vibration Applied to Different Regions and Spinal Stabilization Exercises
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of local vibration application applied to different regions on postural control in addition to spinal stabilization training in ataxic multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The study was planned as a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. The patients included in the study will be divided into 3 groups by the closed-envelope randomization method. Each treatment will be 8 weeks, 3 days a week. The control group will be given 40 minutes of lumbar spinal stabilization exercises. Paraspinal vibration group; In addition to 40 minutes of lumbar spinal stabilization exercises, LV will be...
