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 how well the body’s automatic nerve functions (like heart and blood pressure control) work after a traumatic spinal cord injury. The goal is to better understand preserved nerve function and autonomic (automatic body) control, which could help guide future treatments.
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 trial uses brain stimulation and MRI to study how the brain controls muscle movement in people with relapsing-remitting MS. Researchers want to understand changes in brain 'inhibition' (a natural stopping signal) that might affect walking or thinking.
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 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 looks at how the autonomic nervous system (which controls things like heart rate and blood pressure) changes after a spinal cord injury. It aims to predict later health problems.
