Multiple Sclerosis Research
Researchers at Kessler Foundation study ways of managing the cognitive, physical, and emotional symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
Establishing a Clearer Measure of Mental Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis
This study examines mental fatigue that is regularly experienced by people with multiple sclerosis. Researchers will examine levels of mental fatigue by looking at brain activation during an MRI scan and analyzing self-reported mental fatigue provided during study participation.
Social- and Health Care-Related Influences on Multiple Sclerosis Outcomes
This study investigates the impact of social and health care factors on disability, quality of life, mood, and other outcomes in people with MS from diverse backgrounds. The survey is currently available in English and will soon be available in Spanish.
Effects of Cycling with Virtual Reality on Processing Speed in Multiple Sclerosis
Study investigates how combining cycling exercise with virtual reality can improve thinking speed in people with multiple sclerosis who demonstrate mobility disability.
Memory and Learning Rehabilitation Combined with Exercise Training in Multiple Sclerosis
This study compares the effect of a combined cognitive rehabilitation and exercise approach on new learning and memory in people with multiple sclerosis and mobility disability.
Using fMRI to Study Cognitive Fatigue in MS (with Ocrevus®)
Study investigates the effect of disease-modifying medications, specifically Ocrevus® on cognitive fatigue in multiple sclerosis. Cognitive fatigue is the kind of fatigue that occurs after intense mental concentration, such as after a session of problem-solving.
Robotic Exoskeleton Therapy on Mobility and Cognition in MS
This study examines the usefulness of a wearable robotic exoskeleton device to improve learning, memory, and walking in people with MS.
