We propose a highly-informed, well-designed randomized controlled trial (RCT) that is critical for providing Class I evidence regarding an Internet-delivered physical activity (PA) intervention as a behavioral approach for managing slowed cognitive processing speed (CPS; the most common and perhaps most burdensome MS-related cognitive impairment) and its second learning and memory, symptomatic, and quality of life (QOL) correlates among fully-ambulatory persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) who present with CPS impairment. Such an approach will involve a single-blind, RCT that examines the effects of a remotely-delivered, Internet-based PA intervention compared with an active control condition for yielding immediate and sustained improvements in CPS, learning and memory, symptomatic, and QOL outcomes among persons with mild MS-related ambulatory impairment who demonstrate impaired CPS. The primary outcome is the raw (unadjusted), oral Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) score as a neuropsychological measure of CPS, and this will be collected remotely via screen-sharing technology. The secondary outcomes include an objective neuropsychological measure of learning and memory (California Verbal Learning Test-II) collected remotely via screen-sharing technology, self-report measures of fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale), depressive symptoms and anxiety (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), pain (Short-Form, McGill Pain Questionnaire) and QOL (Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29) that will be captured remotely using Qualtrics. The tertiary outcome is accelerometry as an objective, device-based measure of steps/day that will be delivered and returned via pre-paid, pre-addressed envelopes through the United States Postal Service for generating a minimal clinically important difference value that guides the prescription of free-living PA for managing CPS impairment in clinical practice.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if increasing adherence to a Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet pattern improves thinking ability and memory compared to a healthy control diet in persons with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The main question it aims to answer is: Does the MIND diet improve cognitive performance relative to a control diet in persons with MS? Participants will: Consume one meal that follows the MIND diet or a control meal every day for 3 months, complete online surveys and cognitive testing before and after, and keep a record of the food they eat during the study.

The purpose of this study is to examine how neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), may synergistically enhance corticospinal excitability in people with relapsing form multiple sclerosis (MS). This is an important intermediate step to evaluate the potential of AIH + NMES as a plasticity-priming strategy for more efficacious interventions for persons with MS. This study will measure ankle torque generation and amplitude of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) using a repeated measures study design in order to better understand the effects of AIH combined with NMES, as compared to only receiving NMES, and only receiving AIH.

The overall objective of the proposed randomized controlled (RCT) is to determine the feasibility and efficacy of a 16-week theory-based, remotely-delivered, combined exercise (aerobic and resistance) training intervention for improving cognitive and physical function in older adults (50+ years) with multiple sclerosis (MS) who have mild-to-moderate cognitive and walking impairment. Participants (N=50) will be randomly assigned into exercise training (combined aerobic and resistance exercise) condition or active control (flexibility and stretching) condition. The 16-week intervention will be delivered and monitored remotely within a participant's home/community and supported by Zoom-based chats guided by social cognitive theory (SCT) via a behavioral coach. Participants will receive training materials (e.g., prescriptive manual and exercise equipment), one-on-one coaching, action-planning via calendars, self-monitoring via logs, and SCT-based newsletters. It is hypothesized that the home-based exercise intervention will yield beneficial effects on cognition, mobility, physical activity, and vascular function compared with an active control condition (flexibility and stretching intervention), and these improvements will be sustained during a 16-week follow-up period.

The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of two different exercise training regimens for managing depression and improving other health indicators among persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). The project will enroll persons with MS and major depressive disorder (MDD) between 18 and 64 years of age. The investigators will enroll a total of 146 participants. This is a Phase-II trial that compares the efficacy of an exercise training program (POWER-MS) compared with a stretching program (FLEX-MS) for immediate and sustained reductions in the severity of depression among persons with MS who have MDD.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've tried 2 MS drugs but I am getting worse. I am having trouble walking long distances or for more than 30 minutes. I need to find a new medication. My doctor and I discussed some of the options in trials and I'm ready to dive in to learn more."

OL
Multiple Sclerosis PatientAge: 57

"I've been battling multiple sclerosis for 28 years. I've tried three medications. I keep my dosing stable, but I'm just tired of managing. I want to take control of my situation."

KE
Multiple Sclerosis PatientAge: 43

"I have been losing mobility in the past 3 years very rapidly. I have tried physical therapy, but it didn't really show results. I'll admit that I am not very self-motivated, so I can use some structure. I use to be extremely active and now I am like a wet rag. So I am hoping that participating in a research trial will be of help to me."

AK
Multiple Sclerosis PatientAge: 75

"I've been using natural supplements and would like to find something more effective. My former PCP was hesitant to prescribe modafanil. I'm interested in learning about all options available to me—including the drugs currently under research investigation."

GK
Multiple Sclerosis PatientAge: 50

"I am 42 yrs old with 2 little kids, work as a nurse, tried several drugs, most made me feel awful. I want my quality of life. I don’t want to have to take something daily/monthly. I don’t like the side effects of many drugs. I'm excited to be considered as a candidate for one of these trials."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Multiple Sclerosis trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Multiple Sclerosis is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Multiple Sclerosis medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added BMS-986368 for Multiple Sclerosis, Azer-cel for Autoimmune Disease and Ozanimod vs Fingolimod for Multiple Sclerosis to the Power online platform.
What do the "Power Preferred" and "SuperSite" badges mean?
We recognize research clinics with these awards when they are especially responsive to patients who apply through the Power online platform. SuperSite clinics are research sites recognized for a high standard of rapid and thorough follow-up with patient applicants. Meanwhile, Power Preferred clinics are the top 20 across the entire Power platform, recognized for their absolute top patient experience.
