This study investigated why humans swing their arms during walking, a common but poorly understood movement. Researchers had 25 participants, including healthy individuals and those with conditions like stroke or Parkinson's disease, walk on a force-sensing treadmill. They measur…

This completed study measured two proteins in the blood—neurofilament light chain and GFAP—that can signal nerve damage. Researchers compared 15 people with atypical MS, 30 with typical MS, and 15 healthy controls to see if these markers differ. The goal was to better understand …

This early-stage study gave a single oral dose of a radioactive form of the experimental drug SAR442168 to 6 healthy men. Researchers measured how much of the drug was excreted in urine and stool, and how it moved through the bloodstream. The goal was to understand the drug's met…

This study from the University of Zurich looked at how people with different neurological conditions walk. Researchers measured walking patterns in 208 adults, including those with stroke, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury, as well as healthy volunteers. The…

This study looked at whether the L Test, a walking test that involves turning, can reliably measure how well people with multiple sclerosis (MS) walk while also doing a mental task. Fifty adults with mild to moderate MS completed the test under single and dual task conditions. Th…

This completed study surveyed 134 adults with multiple sclerosis who were starting treatment with either Kesimpta or the newer subcutaneous (under-the-skin) version of Ocrevus. The goal was to compare how patients felt about their first injection, including any pain, redness, swe…

This completed Phase 1 study tested how two common drugs—gemfibrozil (for cholesterol) and rifampicin (an antibiotic)—affect the levels of tolebrutinib, an experimental oral drug for multiple sclerosis. Thirty healthy men aged 18 to 45 took tolebrutinib alone and then with each o…

This study looked at how different types of exercise affect the brain and body in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Twelve participants tried traditional aerobic exercise, virtual reality (VR) aerobic exercise (using the game Beat Saber), and standard exercises. Researchers me…

This study looked at whether multiple sclerosis (MS) and its treatments affect a woman's egg supply. Researchers measured a hormone called AMH in blood samples from over 800 women with MS or a related condition. The goal was to see if disease activity or medications impact ovaria…

This completed study looked at how depression affects the ability to recognize emotions in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers used EEG, heart rate monitoring, and questionnaires to compare emotion recognition in MS patients with and without depression, as well as he…

This study tested whether robotic training that adjusts errors based on each person's abilities can improve motor learning in healthy adults and people with neurological conditions like stroke. Over 250 participants performed arm tasks with robotic devices while researchers measu…

This study checks if a questionnaire about bladder symptoms works well for Turkish-speaking people with multiple sclerosis. Researchers asked 71 participants to fill out the Core Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Score and compared it to another bladder questionnaire. The goal is to m…

This study looked at 39 people with multiple sclerosis who have chronic vision problems. Researchers used eye exams, scans, and electrical tests to see if the vision loss is caused by nerve scarring (demyelination) or nerve cell death (degeneration). The goal is to better underst…
