  1. Full clinical history and neurological assessment. ii. Detailed multiple sclerosis history according to MS unit history sheet. iii. Detailed history of movement disorder which include clinical type of movement disorder and medication taken (or not). iv. MRI Brain and spine of the included patient will be photographed.

Exclusion criteria:

  1. Patients with multiple sclerosis mimics which can cause movement disorders e.g., systemic disease or overlap syndromes including systemic lupus, vasculitis, hepatic failure, renal failure, hyperthyroidism, electrolyte disturbances, Behcet's disease or CNS infection.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine the prevalence of movement disorders in MS patients. (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1.5 year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05973929, which also lists 14 linked publications.

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.
