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 Neural Mechanisms of Split-belt Treadmill Adaptation in People With Multiple Sclerosis
Majority of people with multiple sclerosis experience difficulty with balance and mobility, leading to an increased risk of falls. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about brain activity during walking adaptation in people with multiple sclerosis. Also, this clinical trial will test a form of nerve stimulation to see if it can improve walking performance. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What areas of the brain are the most active during walking adaptation? - Can nerve stimulation make walking adaptation more effective? Participants will walk on a treadmill where each leg will go a different...

Therapeutic Adherence of Multiple Sclerosis Patients
The goal of this study is to assess the role of sociocognitive and interpersonal factors in the therapeutic adherence of multiple sclerosis patients. This study will provide a better understanding of the socio-psychological issues associated with different types of non-adherence to treatment, and identify the risk factors and vulnerability of each patient.

The Relationships Between Personal Identity, Autobiographical Memory and Future Thinking in People With Multiple Sclerosis
Personal identity is composed of multiple facets of the self that are constructed and nourished through memories of past experiences (i.e., autobiographical memory) and the imagination of events that may occur in the future (i.e., future thinking) . While our previous work has shown that people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (pwRRMS) have autobiographical memory and future thought disorders, their impact on personal identity has not yet been explored. Based on a cognitive and clinical neuropsychology approach, this research project aims to better understand the cognitive mechanisms involved in the relationship between...

Tolerogenic Dendritic Cells as a Therapeutic Strategy for the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis Patients (TOLERVIT-MS)
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of the intranodal administration of autologous monocyte-derived dendritic cells tolerised with Vitamin-D3 and pulsed with myelin peptides (tolDC-VitD3) in multiple sclerosis patients . To select the most appropriate regime for the development of future therapeutic trials. To evaluate the preliminary proof of concept by clinical and/or radiological activity and immunological markers.

TOPIK Study: A Study to Report Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy and Other Serious Opportunistic Infections in Natalizumab Treated Participants
The primary objective of the study is to estimate the incidence of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) and serious adverse events (SAEs) of other opportunistic infections (OIs) among all participants taking natalizumab. The secondary objectives of the study are to estimate the incidence of SAEs, to estimate the incidence of SAEs among participant subgroups defined by demographic and clinical factors (age, gender, duration of treatment, pregnancy, breastfeeding), to characterize and estimate incidences of malignancies, hypersensitivity reactions and John Cunningham Virus (JCV) positivity among all participants taking ...

TOTEM RRMS : TestOsterone TreatmEnt on Neuroprotection and Myelin Repair in Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
Centra nervous system (CNF) damage in multiple sclerosis (MS), are mainly attributed to myelin destruction, axonal abnormalities and subsequent degeneration, and are responsible for serious deficiencies. Current therapies are focused on the treatment of inflammation with several types of anti-inflammatory agents. However, there is an urgent need for innovative therapies promoting neuroregeneration and particularly myelin repair. It has been demonstrated that testosterone can act through neural androgen receptors to promote proliferation and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursors into mature oligodendrocytes in a...

Tracking Peripheral Immune Cell Infiltration of the Brain in Central Inflammatory Disorders Using [Zr-89]Oxinate-4-labeled Leukocytes.
This study will use brain Positron Emission Tomography/ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI) and an investigational radioactive drug called [Zr-89]oxine to track the location of white blood cells (also called leukocytes) in the body. PET/MRI will be used to visualize labeled white blood cells and determine if they enter the central nervous system in conditions associated with brain inflammation (also called neuroinflammation). By better understanding the role of neuroinflammation in fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and multiple sclerosis, the investigator hopes to be able to better diagnose and treat patients in the future.

Traditional Versus Early Aggressive Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis Trial
FDA-approved multiple sclerosis (MS) disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) target the relapsing phase of MS but have minimal impact once the progressive phase has begun. It is unclear if, in the relapsing phase, there is an advantage of early aggressive therapy with respect to preventing long-term disability. The infectious risks and other complications associated with higher-efficacy treatments highlight the need to quantify their effectiveness in preventing disability. The TRaditional versus Early Aggressive Therapy for MS (TREAT-MS) trial is a pragmatic, randomized controlled trial that has two primary aims: 1) to evaluate, jointly...

Traditional Versus Progressive Robot-assisted Gait Training in People With Multiple Sclerosis and Severe Gait Disability
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating neurodegenerative disease. Qualitative alterations in walking function in MS people involve 75% of subjects with MS and are determined by reduced coordination, mobility, balance, and increased risk of falling. Robot assisted gait training (RAGT) devices seem effective in MS patients with severe motor disabilities, failing to show significant superiority when compared to intensive overground gait rehabilitation (OGT). This study aims to evaluate the effects of a low-intensity RAGT at progressively increasing intensity compared to conventional RAGT and OGT.
