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.
Improving Bone Health in MS
This survey study aims to understand the current awareness and healthcare and lifestyle management of bone health, osteoporosis and fracture risk in people with MS. Participation is via completion of a 30 minute survey that can be accessed at the following link: https://monash.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0BLYJMYoHbL3uLk
Relationships between Objective Sleep, Mental Health, Fatigue, and Sleep Disorders in MS
People with MS commonly report having poor sleep. Not much is known about how fatigue, sleeping issues like insomnia, and mental health issues like depression or anxiety are related to sleep in people with MS. These are common symptoms in MS but are poorly understood in research and clinical practice. This research represents an important […]
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 will include over 150 adults and adolescents (12-18 years of age) with MOGAD from around the world. Participants will be randomly assigned between treatment arms. In Australia 8 sites will participate in the study, located in NSW, Victoria and Western Australia.
Testing Brain-Computer Interfaces for Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) use sensors to record brain activity and translate that activity into user-intended commands, which can be used to control a device such as your phone or computer. We are investigating how the brain controls movements and how multiple sclerosis may affect the brain’s activity when thinking about movement. This research could provide […]
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. […]

Living Well with MS – Invisible Symptoms, Health Routines and Digital Technology
This study will explore the strategies people with MS use to manage living with unpredictable (and often invisible) symptoms. It will ask about your experience with healthcare and explore how technology may help you manage your MS. The first phase of the project is this 10-minute survey. At the end of the survey, you will […]
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.
