NCT05748015
The goal of this interventional non-pharmacological study is to evaluate the involvement of the autonomic nervous system in patients with relapsing-remitting and primary progressive multiple sclerosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is it possible to define the characteristics of dysautonomia to improve treatment on patients with multiple sclerosis through the management of conditions such as orthostatic hypotension or thermoregulation disorders that inevitably condition the patient's life and the response to rehabilitation ? * Does the severity of the functional alterations correlate with impairment of small somatic and autonomic cutaneous nerve fibers in patients with multiple sclerosis ? * How much the involvement of the autonomic nervous system affects the clinical history and progression of the disease ? * Do different clinical variants of multiple sclerosis manifest with different patterns of involvement of the sensory-autonomic nervous system ? Participants will be hospitalized in Maugeri Clinical Institute of Telese Terme for a rehabilitation treatment. Patients will perform a sensory and autonomic functional study and a morphological analysis of cutaneous nerves through skin biopsy. Researchers will compare results between the two groups (relapsing-remitting and primary progressive) and between patients and data from control subjects.
NCT07507331
This observational study aims to evaluate the cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Neurogenic Bladder Symptom Score Short Form (NBSS-SF) in adults with spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis who have neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. Neurogenic bladder symptoms, such as urinary incontinence, urgency, and difficulties with urine storage or emptying, may negatively affect daily functioning and quality of life. In this study, the validity and reliability of the Turkish NBSS-SF will be examined, and convergent validity will be assessed through its relationship with the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) and the Short Form-12 (SF-12). In eligible participants, the scale will be administered again after 7 to 14 days. The aim of the study is to provide a valid and reliable Turkish patient-reported outcome measure for use in clinical practice and research.

NCT04876339
Music therapy is widely used in relational and rehabilitation settings. In addition to Neurologic Music Therapy and other music-based techniques, "sonification" approaches were recently introduced in the field of rehabilitation. The "sonification" can be defined as a properly selected set of sonorous-music stimuli are associated with patient movements mapping. In fact, the auditory-motor feedback can replace damaged proprioceptive circuits with a consequent improvement of the rehabilitation process. Interventions with "sonification" facilitate sensorimotor learning, proprioception and movements planning and execution improving global motor parameters. This study proposes the use of musical auditory cues which includes the melodic-harmonic component of the music. This kind of sonification makes the feedback pleasant and predictable as well as potentially effective. The investigators propose to apply and assess the effectiveness of this kind of sonification on gait training and other secondary outcomes in stroke, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis population. Also, the investigators will assess the impact of "sonification" on the level of fatigue perceived during the rehabilitation process and on the quality of life. The study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial and will involve 120 patients that will undergo standard motor rehabilitation or the same rehabilitation but with the sonification support. The interventions will be evaluated at the baseline, after 10 sessions, after 20 sessions and at follow-up (one month after the end of the treatment). The assessment will include functional, motor, fatigue and quality of life evaluations. The collected data will be statistically processed.
NCT07466823
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease frequently associated with spasticity, which may lead to functional limitations and reduced quality of life. Although spasticity is common in MS, detailed descriptions of upper and lower extremity spasticity patterns are limited. A better understanding of spasticity patterns may help improve individualized rehabilitation and treatment planning. The aim of this study is to classify upper and lower extremity spasticity patterns in patients with multiple sclerosis and to investigate their association with quality of life. Adult patients with MS and clinical spasticity will be recruited from a tertiary care outpatient clinic. Spasticity will be evaluated using the Modified Ashworth Scale, and extremity postures will be recorded to define spasticity patterns. Functional performance will be assessed using the Timed 25-Foot Walk Test and the 9-Hole Peg Test. The impact of spasticity on quality of life will be evaluated using the Patient-Reported Impact of Spasticity Measure (PRISM). This prospective cross-sectional study is designed to provide a systematic description of spasticity patterns in patients with multiple sclerosis and to examine their relationship with functional outcomes and quality of life.

NCT06256731
The overarching goal of this research protocol is to validate the effectiveness of Innodem's ETNA-MS device in informing clinicians on the disability status of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. Effectiveness of the device will be assessed by the level of agreement between the EDSS estimated by the device and the actual scores measured by the neurologist in-person assessments.
NCT06309173
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Diagnosis is established by clinical assessment of persons with MS (PwMS), in combination with imaging and body fluid assessments. Treatment decisions in MS are mainly based on periodic monitoring of disease activity and progression through clinical and imaging assessments. The predictive and prognostic value of currently used assessments to individualize treatment decisions is still very limited. Emerging digital measures have the potential to provide granular health status measurements that would allow monitoring MS disease activity and progression continuously and remotely, in real-world settings, with minimal disruption of patients' life. Using the investigators' self developed dreaMS software program the investigators previously identified digital biomarkers (DB) that hold promise to provide detailed and accurate assessments of MS-related health status and disease progression to complement traditional clinical, imaging, or body fluid assessments. This international, observational study aims to evaluate and validate the generalizability of these DB across different languages and cultural settings to provide DB that are helpful for patient care, research, and regulatory decisions. Beyond this, the processes and data structures created for this study are intended to establish a collaborative research platform for subsequent studies, including pragmatic trials, promoting new long-term international academic collaborations.

NCT07502066
The goal of this one blind-randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of a telerehabilitation (TR) protocol focusing on balance rehabilitation in patients with neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis). The secondary objectives of the study are: 1. To evaluate the effects of clinical treatment on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) outcomes. 2. To collect data on process measures: user needs (patients and caregivers), treatment adherence, usability, satisfaction, technological acceptance. Participants will perform 20 rehabilitation session (physiotherapy) for balance improvement. Experimental group patients will be trheated through tele-rehabilitation performing exercise with an hospital physiotherapist. Researchers will compare telerehabilitation group to usual care group to see if there is a significant improvement in motor function, particularly in balance and mobility tests, as well as an improvement in quality of life.

NCT06105463
This study aims to identify moderating variables that modify satisfaction with physical activity practice throughout the menstrual cycle (MC) in women with and without multiple sclerosis (MS) during High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and strength training sessions, and to compare the acute effects of different types of physical activity sessions in women with and without MS. This study used a randomized crossover trial study and single-blind performed by women with MS, matched 1:1 based on age, lifestyle factors and country of residence, with women without MS to analyse the effect of physical activity practise on satisfaction, functionality, fatigue, and inflammatory profile throughout MC. Participants will visit the facilities approximately 10 times (4 preliminary familiarization visits and 6 visits to carry out a physical activity session in each phase of the MC) over a period of 3-4 months. Evaluation will comprise clinical, nutritional and psychological interviews including different variables such as satisfaction on physical activity; visual analogue scale of fatigue; abdominal obesity and anthropometric variables; dietary and nutritional monitoring; bioimpedance analysis; blood profile of hormone, inflammatory and cognitive function blood profile; neuromuscular strength, voluntary activation, and contractile properties; functional assessment (spasticity, knee angles, gait speed, walking endurance, balance, sit-to-stand test, timed up and go test); rating of perceived exertion; pain; muscle oxygen saturation; lactate; heart rate variability; quality of sleep and life; and body temperature. During the luteal phase, women with MS are expected to exhibit different acute responses to HIIT and strength training sessions compared to women without the disease.
