Making it Personal: Identifying personalised triggers of fatigue in multiple sclerosis using N-of-1 studies
This research study aims to discover factors that worsen feelings of fatigue in people living with multiple sclerosis (MS). Most research studies explore topics like this using scientific approaches that report the average results of a large group of people, rather than focusing on identifying results for each individual. As a result, there is limited […]
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.
Exploring attitudes and behaviours regarding diet among people with multiple sclerosis and the person who assists with some of their food preparation

Neural mechanisms of pain: Relapsing and Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Cohort
To investigate the molecular changes over the disease, we will meet the participants once every 3 months for 1h over a 2-year period. During each meeting, we will collect a venous blood sample (~5-10 minutes), ask you to fill out a survey (~10-20 minutes) and describe your response to a range of mechanical and thermal […]
Improving Bone Health in MS

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 […]
