The MS Family Study
Researchers from the Menzies Institute for Medical Research are seeking participants who come from families with multiple relatives affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). By analysing the genetic code of such families, the researchers want to better understand the inherited risk of MS.
A clinical trial for patients with Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disorder (MogAD)
This is a Global, Multicentre Phase III, Randomised, Double-Blind Clinical Trial. The study currently includes over 120 adults and is actively recruiting adolescents (12-18 years of age) with MOGAD from around the world. In Australia 3 sites are participating in the study, located in NSW.
Anxiety in Multiple Sclerosis
We are interested in identifying psychological factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of anxiety in individuals with MS. We are also interested in comparing these factors to those without an illness. Participants will be requested to fill out an online questionnaire at three different time points. Time 1: Fill out an ~30min questionnaire. […]
MS Genetics Project (GEMS Study)
We need your help to investigate the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) strain that may play a crucial role in developing multiple sclerosis (MS). This study also aims to identify specific markers in the blood associated with onset and progression of MS. The knowledge gained will be used to greatly improve MS diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
Assisted Reproductive Technology in Multiple Sclerosis and Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders (ARTiMS)
The purpose of this study is to improve the quality of care that women with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) receive while using Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). We’re inviting women with MS or NMOSD who have already used ART to take part in surveys and interviews to discuss if and where […]
The interaction between diet, physical activity and sleep with neuroplasticity in people with multiple sclerosis
Dietary intake, physical activity levels and sleep vary between individuals, but how do these factors influence the central nervous system, and does this differ between people with and without multiple sclerosis? This study will aim to address these questions via collecting dietary intake, physical activity and sleep data, and using non-invasive brain stimulation during cycling […]
