About this study
The purpose of this research study is to investigate whether minimizing interference improves memory in multiple sclerosis.
Read the detailed description
The ability to form new long-lasting memories is important for successful independent living and a high quality of life. Roughly half of the individuals diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have difficulty remembering new information and this is likely associated with poor acquisition of new information. There are only a limited number of studies that have investigated memory consolidation in MS. The current study will investigate the role of interference during the consolidation time period of memory formation.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Interference onset in people with Multiple Sclerosis, run by Kessler Foundation at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Recall Proportion (time frame: 2 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Aug 2016.
