Autonomic Function in Multiple Sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the nervous system controls automatic body functions (like heart rate and blood pressure) in people with multiple sclerosis. Researchers want to compare results between people with MS and healthy volunteers to understand how MS affects these functions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, OR you are a healthy person without MS.
- You do not have heart, lung, nerve, or blood sugar conditions (like high blood pressure, diabetes, or stroke).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is below 35.
- You are not taking medications that could interact with phenylephrine (a medicine used in the study).

This study looks at signs of how your automatic “control” nerves (the autonomic nervous system) may be affected in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help researchers better understand different types of MS and how to recognize nervous-system involvement.
This study tests if exercise can improve blood vessel health and daily function in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who also have high blood pressure. It may help you move better and feel better.
This study looks at how the brain's 'brakes' (cortical inhibition) may be affected in multiple sclerosis. By using brain imaging and magnetic pulses, researchers hope to better understand MS and how it may relate to thinking and daily function.
This study looks at sexual health in women with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. It aims to understand how MS might affect sexual function and to find ways to help.
This study follows people with multiple sclerosis over time to learn more about the disease and improve care. If you join, you will help researchers understand MS better, which could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how common insulin resistance (when your body doesn't use insulin well) is in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It involves a blood sample and may help doctors understand more about how MS affects your body's metabolism.
