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.

Neurophysiological Effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation in Persons With MS
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a treatment that could potentially reduce walking problems and fatigue in persons with Multiple Sclerosis. However, extensive use of TENS in a clinical setting is hindered by a lack of neurophysiological understanding of the effects of TENS. The primary objective of this pilot study is therefore to investigate the effects of TENS on brain activity in pwMS measured with fMRI.

Observational Study in Multiple Sclerosis Patients Treated With Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Observational prospective , multi-center study Primary objective : To gain further homogenous evidence for clinical efficacy of aHSCT in patients undergoing aHSCT for MS as primary indication. Secondary objectives: - Safety, tolerability and toxicity of aHSCT in MS - Quality of life and long-term disability after aHSCT - MRI outcome after aHSCT Primary endpoint : Time to failure to maintain a NEDA status Secondary endpoints: - Overall survival - Transplant related mortality - MRI Assessment including lesions - Treatment-related complications ....

Observational Trial Evaluating Elevated Factor VIII Related Labs as a Biomarker for Incomplete Relapse Recovery
Nine Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients suffering an acute relapse from the outpatient or inpatient settings will be consented to be followed prospectively for three months post relapse, in an effort to identify markers of incomplete relapse recovery. Factor VIII-related labs will be drawn for three months without influencing standard of care treatment decisions. During this time, patients will be followed with clinical and diagnostic assessments in addition to blood tests including: Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC), recovery surveys, and MRIs of the brain, cervical spine, and...

Olfactory and Trigeminal Functions in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: Case-control Study
The sensation of smell is influenced by the somatosensory and chemesthetic sensati¬ons of the nose: for example, the cooling sensation of menthol or the prickle of carbon dioxide from carbonated drinks. These sensations are mediated in the nose by the trigeminal nerve and there is increasing evidence that trigeminal and olfactory functions are closely linked and potentially interdependent. In addition, trigeminal activation is crucial to the perception of nasal airflow. Some researchers speculate about the impact of trigeminal nerve on the entire olfactory sensation and about the presence of some specific "trigeminal cells" into the...

Online Physical Activity Tracking in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
This study aims to investigate the effects of regular remote monitoring of physical activity levels of individuals with multiple sclerosis on physical activity levels, psychological health, fatigue and quality of life.

Patient Experiences of Multiple Sclerosis (PExMS)
Besides coping with the diagnosis, people with multiple sclerosis have to make complex decisions such as deciding about immunotherapies. They search not only for factual information, but also for reports of patient experiences (PEx). The investigators aim to evaluate in a randomised controlled pilot trial whether a website presenting PEx as an adjunct to factual information may help people with multiple sclerosis in their immunotherapy decision-making processes.

Peer Support Impact on Therapeutic Adherence in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
A mixed methods randomized controlled trial pilot study to assess peer support impact on relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients' therapeutic adherence.

Physical Function, Health and Employment for People With Multiple Sclerosis
Employment is low in people with MS, even when physical levels of functioning are high. The purpose of this study is to investigate if an individually tailored intervention combining individualized physiotherapy and work adaptation works better than usual care in terms of reducing barriers for work and improving levels of physical activity. The utility of the intervention will be investigated in terms of quality adjusted life years, long-term employment status and work-related costs.

Predictive Value of the Optic Nerve Involvement in Clinically Isolated Syndrome
Optic neuritis (ON) represents around 30% of clinical presentation of clinically isolated syndrome (CIS). Asymptomatic optic nerve involvement is very frequent in all stage of multiple sclerosis (MS) disease including the CIS. However, optic nerve is still not part of MS diagnosis criteria. The main objective of our regional and multicenter study is to evaluate the prognostic value of optic nerve involvement at the earliest clinical stage of MS (=CIS) for the diagnosis of clinically definite MS (2nd clinical relapse) and the delay until the 2nd relapse.

Productive Value of Sonographic Measurement of Optic Nerve in Transitional Multiple
1.to evaluate the potential role of the optic nerve diameter ( OND determined by ultrasonography and and visual nerve function by visual evoked potential as a biomarker of early axonal loss and disability in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).
