There are currently 116 active clinical trials seeking participants for Multiple Sclerosis research studies. The states with the highest number of trials for Multiple Sclerosis participants are Florida, New York, California and Texas.
Genes and Environment in Multiple Sclerosis
Recruiting
The purpose of the research study is to identify the genetic, environmental and immune profiles that may increase a person's risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS). While MS is not a disease caused by a single variation in genetic material (DNA), a single environmental factor, or a single malfunction in immune cells, there are genetic alterations, environmental exposures and immunologic factors that make the development of MS more likely. Obtaining information about who is at risk for MS wil... Read More

Vancomycin Study in Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Recruiting
The overall goal of this study is to elucidate a mechanism by which vancomycin modulates the gut-brain axis in multiple sclerosis (MS). The gut microbiome plays an important role in autoimmunity, including MS. However, the identity of gut microbes modulating neuroinflammation in MS and their mechanisms of action remain obscure. Hence, here the research team proposes to investigate the effects of vancomycin on the gut microbiota composition, peripheral immune function, and brain MRI lesions in MS... Read More

VIRtual Versus UsuAL In-office Care for Multiple Sclerosis (VIRTUAL-MS)
Recruiting
The current standard of outpatient MS care depends on in-clinic visits, but MS patients face many barriers to accessing this care. These barriers include those resulting from the disease itself, such as physical limitations, driving restrictions and financial limitations, and they are further compounded by an overall shortage of neurologists. Furthermore, MS care has a significant economic impact, with the estimated indirect and direct costs for treating MS in the US estimated to be \> $85.4 bil... Read More

Nomad P-KAFO Study
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of using the Nomad powered KAFO in people who have had a musculoskeletal or neurological injury that has affected their ability to walk. The main questions it aims to answer are to quantify the effectiveness of the Nomad in improving mobility, balance, frequency of falls, and quality of life in individuals with lower-extremity impairments compared to their own brace, over three months of daily home and community use. Participants will:... Read More

Smoldering Inflammation in MS
Recruiting
The goal of this observational study is to learn about inflammation in those with relapsing remitting Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The main questions it aims to answer are: * How does abnormal neural inflammation compare to cellular and molecular inflammation in MS? * Once treated, why does abnormal inflammation persist?

Non-invasive BCI-controlled Assistive Devices
Recruiting
Injuries affecting the central nervous system may disrupt the cortical pathways to muscles causing loss of motor control. Nevertheless, the brain still exhibits sensorimotor rhythms (SMRs) during movement intents or motor imagery (MI), which is the mental rehearsal of the kinesthetics of a movement without actually performing it. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can decode SMRs to control assistive devices and promote functional recovery. Despite rapid advancements in non-invasive BCI systems ba... Read More

A Novel Wearable Digital Biomarker for Detecting Changes in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Condition
Recruiting
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 dete... Read More

Study to Investigate Vagus Nerve Stimulation Paired With Motor Task for Remyelination and Functional Recovery
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if stimulating the vagus nerve in combination with a motor task in people with multiple sclerosis can improve motor function. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is stimulating the vagus nerve safe and feasible after demyelinating episodes? * Does a paired motor task with vagus nerve stimulation improve motor function with someone who has multiple sclerosis? Researchers will compare active vagus nerve stimulation to a sham stimulation to see... Read More

Blood Flow Restriction And Veterans With MS
Recruiting
There currently is a lack of evidence to support exercise interventions in people with advanced disability due to MS (i.e., need assistance to walk or use a wheelchair). This project proposes to study a strength training program using blood flow restriction (BFR) in people with advanced disability due to MS. BFR uses a device that partially blocks blood flow to the exercising limb and causes a response in the muscle which can replicate the effects of high-intensity training using much lower inte...
