Trial summary

This study consists of two parts. The first part is a survey to examine vision-specific health-related quality of life in a cohort of patients with multiple sclerosis. We test visual impairment like visual acuity, visual field, colour discrimination, contrast sensitivity, eye movement. Read more about this study

About this study

This study consists of two parts. The first part is a survey to examine vision-specific health-related quality of life in a cohort of patients with multiple sclerosis. We test visual impairment like visual acuity, visual field, colour discrimination, contrast sensitivity, eye movement. The aim of this part is to examine the association between responses to the quality of life scale and objective measures of visual impairment.

The second part is an open controlled study, in which we measure motion detection threshold in MS patients with oscillopsia due to pendular nystagmus and in a group of control subjects. The objective of this part is to determine whether patients with pendular nystagmus develop adaptation to oscillopsia using increased threshold of motion detection. We plan to test the effect of visuo-motor rehabilitation on this threshold in patients with oscillopsia due to pendular nystagmus.

Read the detailed description

In the first part, 100 patients with multiple sclerosis are included. A vision-specific health-related quality of life scale and neuro-ophthalmological tests are administered. The duration of intervention is about 3 hours by patient and one year to finish this part.

In the second part, we include about 40 of 100 MS patients who present an oscillopsia due to pendular nystagmus and a group of 20 control subjects. The patients and subject will perform a motion detection task and the vision-specific health-related quality of life, the intervention lasting 1 hour. Then the patients will be randomized in one group treated by rehabilitation (one 30 mn session per week during 3 months) and the other one without treatment. A motion detection task and the vision-specific health-related quality of life scale will be performed at the end of the treatment for both groups.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Sclerosis, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2010. 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 France. 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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.

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 30 Sep 2010.
