Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are individuals with a documented diagnosis of relapsing-remitting MS and an EDSS score between 0 and 3.5.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with contraindications such as metal implants, recent pregnancies, or head trauma may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to explore clinical, neurophysiological, and immunological markers in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), including those receiving immunomodulatory treatment. It employs navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) to assess central nervous system function, alongside electromyoneurography (EMNG) for peripheral nervous system evaluation. Participants will undergo a series of neuropsychological assessments and blood tests to analyze immune markers. The findings may enhance understanding of MS pathophysiology and inform better diagnostic and treatment strategies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnostic and treatment approaches for patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
How similar studies have gone: While similar studies have explored neurophysiological markers in MS, this specific approach combining multiple assessment techniques is relatively novel.
