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.

The Effects of FES in a Variety of Walking Conditions in People With MS
The aim of this study is to measure the difference in the walking performance when functional electrical stimulation (FES) is on and off in people with MS that present foot drop under different 'real life' conditions, i.e. walking while doing another task that requires your attention and after been physically tired

The Effects of Internet-Based and Supervised Exercise Programs in People With Multiple Sclerosis
The main aim of this study is resarch and compare the effects of supervised exercise programs and internet-based exercise programs, which have started to benefit from their effects in recent years, known for not requiring conditions such as transportation distance, cost and time, on motor disorders and quality of life in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). This study conducting for develop a new perspective on conventional physiotherapy and rehabilitation practices. Our study will be performed in people with MS with a high EDSS score, is seen as an important contribution for the literature.

The Effects of Vestibular Exercise and Cervical Stabilization Exercise Training on Balance and Gait in MS Patients
The population of this research consists of individuals between the ages of 18-65 with MS disease. MS patients to be included in the study will be directed by the Neurology outpatient clinic of Sanko University Hospital. All volunteers who agreed to participate in this randomized controlled pretest-posttest design study and met the sample criteria will be included in the study.Individuals who agree to participate will be divided into three groups by simple random method and closed envelope method. Vestibular exercise training group will be formed as Group 1 and Cervical stabilization exercise training group as Group 2, control group,...

The Experience in Neurorehabilitation Setting: a Qualitative Study
In this exploratory qualitative study with a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, we will describe and understand the experience of treatment and hospitalization in hospitalized people suffering from stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and patients post-neurosurgery for oncological causes. Patients will be interviewed in a semi-structured manner and sampling will take place for each of the pathology groups according to the saturation method.

The Feasibility of Frame Running as an Exercise Option for People With Multiple Sclerosis
There is ample evidence that regular exercise can reduce MS specific symptoms and improve health and wellbeing in people with MS. However, for people with MS to engage in exercise activities long term, it is important that they are offered a range of exercise opportunities that are safe, feasible and potentially effective to reduce MS symptom. This will allow people to select an activity they enjoy, is adapted to their needs and thus are more sustainable long-term. Frame Running (FR) provides an opportunity for people with walking and balance problems to walk or run safely without the risk of falling. The frame consists of three...

The Gilenya Pregnancy Registry
The purpose of the Multi-National Gilenya Pregnancy Exposure Registry in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is to continuously monitor, evaluate, and assess for major and minor teratogenic effects in the offspring of women exposed to fingolimod before (up to 8 weeks before last menstrual period (LMP)) and during pregnancy in routine clinical practice. The overall aim is to collect and evaluate data on maternal, fetal, and infant outcomes and compare it with reference populations.

The Influence of HIIT Versus MCT on Cardiorespiratory Fitness in PPMS
Endurance training revealed to be an effective means to increase cardiorespiratory fitness in persons with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), considered relevant to health-related quality of life in this population. Moreover, endurance training improves MS-related symptoms, such as reduced walking capacity, fatigue, depression, and cognitive impairment. Owing to these benefits, endurance training has evolved as an integral part of MS rehabilitation, anchored in current treatment guidelines. In recent years, High-Intensity Interval training (HIIT) evolved as a time-efficient and safe alternative to standard care in MS rehabilitation that is...

The Living With a Long-Term Condition Study
Psychological distress (anxiety and depression) is common in and experienced differently by people living with long-term health conditions (LTCs). Being able to measure whether psychological distress is related to living with a LTC would allow researchers and clinicians to provide interventions specifically tailored to the challenges of living with a LTC and therefore provide the most appropriate support for these patients. Such a measure would also be useful in research to identify the presence of illness-related distress in different patient groups. This project will therefore create a new measure of illness-related distress that...

The MS-CEBA Study: Determining Cognitive, Energetic, Behavioural and Affective (CEBA) Profiles in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an invalidating neurological disease known to cause physical symptoms, which usually are the main focus of treatment. However, non-physical, more neuropsychological, symptoms also frequently occur, concerning the Cognitive, Energetic, Behavioural and Affective (CEBA) domains. Symptoms in the CEBA domains are known to negatively affect societal participation, and thereby quality of life. Unfortunately, despite their negative consequences, CEBA symptoms are not always timely recognized in people with MS (pwMS). Moreover, despite the fact that there are various effective neuropsychological treatments available...

The MS-LINK™ Outcomes Study
The Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Leadership and Innovation Network (MS-LINK™) is comprised of networks working cooperatively to advance Multiple Sclerosis (MS) science and improve MS participant outcomes. In this study participants will be followed from the time of consent through the lifetime of the study (currently 3 years), unless the participant chooses to withdraw from the study. Collection of participant's medical history, including MS and treatment history, will be automated through extraction from the participant's electronic medical record (EMR) and other health information systems (for example, radiology). Participants will...
