Short Description: This study aims to develop a fatigue self-management program for persons with MS that 1) includes both cognitive behavioral and energy conservation strategies and 2) is available as a mHealth application: Managing My MS My Way (M4W). In order to make this program meaningful for persons with MS living with fatigue, we will be including persons with MS as stakeholders in each step of the application development so that we can capture their thoughts on the application and its content. By doing so, we will ensure that the strategies included will be helpful for persons with MS, the layout and content of the application are user friendly, and that M4W is accessible and easy-to-use.

Short Description: The purpose of this study is to 1) identify what score would indicate a meaningful change for lower limb measures used by clinicians and 2) determine behavioral characteristics that influence physical activity levels in for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) with varying levels of disease severity (mild/moderate v. severe ambulant) and by vascular comorbidity status. We plan to have 80 people with MS complete this study. Participation in this study will require subjects to complete two in-person study visits (1.5 hours each) one week apart, to collect lower limb outcome measures commonly used in the clinic to assess function and behavioral characteristics of persons with MS. They will also be asked questions about demographics and MS.

Short Description: The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), a naturally available compound in the blood, with MS disease. Blood samples collected from both person's with MS and healthy controls may be used in analysis to measure the level of BH4 (naturally occurring chemical in the body) that may or may not be affected by MS. Samples will also help to define characteristics of person's with MS to make progress in advancing MS research.

Short Description: Abstract routinely collected clinical data to establish a de-identified database of disease characteristics in persons with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS). Conduct exploratory analyses to identify patient and disease characterteristics that are associated with various aspects of mobility. The results of these analyses will be used as pilot data to plan more complex prospective studies.
