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.

An Examination of Cognitive Fatigue Using Functional Neuroimaging
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effectiveness of MS Disease modifying medications on cognitive fatigue in persons with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Cognitive fatigue is the kind of fatigue that occurs after intense mental concentration as after a session of problem solving.

A NIS Evaluating Injectable Treatments in Patients With Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis
This is an observational, non-interventional, multicenter, open-label study in patients being treated with any approved injectable Disease-modifying Therapy (DMT) for Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis in Germany. Prospective, primary data will be collected via questionnaires and an electronic case report form (eCRF) over a period of up to approx. two years of treatment. Additionally, medical history of participants will be collected including disease duration, EDSS, MRI parameters and relapses.

An Observational Study to Investigate the Role of B Cells in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) typically afflict young people in their twenties, when they start a career and establish a family. The disease thus imposes a severe impact on quality of life and heavy economic burdens on society. Critical barriers to progress in the field are the lack of knowledge of relevant immune cell subsets driving the pathology and the targets of the immune response within the central nervous system. In this project, we will test the hypothesis that a subgroup of MS patients is defined by a genetically determined B cell response against specific antigenic epitopes. The hypothesis is based on our recent, pioneering...

A Novel Combinatory Approach to Maximize Functional Recovery of Learning and Memory in Multiple Sclerosis
The goal of this novel study is to compare the effect of a combined cognitive rehabilitation and exercise approach on new learning and memory (NLM) in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) and mobility disability.

A Novel Wearable Digital Biomarker for Detecting Changes in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Condition
To measure the effectiveness of a Remote Patient Monitoring solution based on the use of a smart insole wearable device (and associated smart phone app), for monitoring MS patients' condition on a day-to-day basis. The main focus is the objective measurement of gait, given that 75% of people with MS display clinically significant gait impairments. Initial gait lab "gold standard" data indicate that the Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based digital biomarker will prove to be highly effective at detecting changes in the MS patient's condition.

A Personalised Radiosurgery Procedure for People With Trigeminal Neuralgia to Improve Pain, Quality of Life and Reduce Complications
The aim of this study is to evaluate prospectively the feasibility and impact of personalised gamma knife radiosurgery treatment protocol versus current standard protocol for people with idiopathic or Multiple Sclerosis-related Trigeminal Neurolgia (MS related TN) on effectiveness in pain relief, the development of morbidity and quality of life. Patients with TN or MS-related TN are referred to the National Centre for Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Sheffield for clinical consultation, and will undergo gamma knife radiosurgery (GNRS) for treating trigeminal neuralgia if eligible. The GKRS treatment is provided as a standard National...

A Phase IIIb, Multicenter, International Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of EK-12 in Patients With RRMS
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune, inflammatory neurological disease of the central nervous system. It is the most common disabling neurologic disease of young people. This study is planned for the evaluation of efficacy, safety and tolerability of neuropeptide combination of metenkefalin and tridecactide (EK-12) as compared to INF beta-1a (REBIF®) in patients with RRMS. The primary objective of this study is to prove the superiority of efficacy of neuropeptide combination of metenkefalin and tridecactide (EK-12) compared to INF beta-1a (REBIF®) in patients with RRMS on the basis of annualized protocol defined relapse rate...

A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial: CoINTEGRATE
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of comprehensive multimodal individually tailored Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy (CRT), and modifiable lifestyle sessions. The study team hypothesizes that combining evidence-based cognitive and affective therapies with lifestyle modifications is feasible and will improve the community integration (CI) and Quality of life (QoL) in patients with a neurocognitive disorder compared to usual care.

Application of ihMT MRI in Multiple Sclerosis
The development of in vivo biomarkers sensitive to myelin disruption represents a major clinical need to be able to monitor the demyelination processes as well as the effect of remyelinating therapies in multiple sclerosis. The investigators recently proposed a technique, derived from the conventional magnetisation transfer (MT): inhomogeneous Magnetisation Transfer (ihMT). In preliminary studies, this simple-to-implement and robust technique has shown great sensitivity for evaluating the demyelination processes. The goal of the project is to evaluate the ability of ihMT to measure and describe the spontaneous demyelination and...
