Recent data indicate misdiagnosis of initial symptoms of MS is a frequent contributor to diagnostic delay.Objectives: This survey study assessed diagnostic delay and misdiagnosis in an MS patient registry.Methods: Participants completed the survey study between November 12, 2021, through December 22, 2021.Results: There were 428 participants. Diagnostic delay was a median of 2.0 months (mean of 22.8 months, range: 0-32.9 years); 173/428 (40.4%) reported misdiagnosis of symptoms later attributed to MS, and this was associated with longer diagnostic delay (p < 0.001). Diagnostic delay decreased over time proximal to revisions to MS diagnostic criteria. 217/428 (50.7%) reported earlier symptoms retrospectively recognized as referable to MS that were not clinically evaluated, resulting in a diagnostic delay median of 5.4 years (mean 8.9 years, range: 0-47.4 years).Conclusions: Diagnostic delay was prevalent and associated with frequent misdiagnosis of initial symptoms of MS and earlier unevaluated symptoms later attributed to MS. Studies tracing the diagnostic journey of patients with MS are needed to understand and prevent causes of diagnostic delay.","PeriodicalId":18961,"journal":{"name":"Multiple Sclerosis Journal - Experimental, Translational and Clinical","volume":"11 2","pages":"20552173251333390"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12033781/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144007927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing interventions for cognitive dysfunction often show inconsistent transfer to everyday activities and typically require frequent clinic visits, which can be challenging for patients with MS due to mobility issues.

The treatment emphasized self-generation and metacognitive strategies to enhance cognitive function. Participants' cognitive abilities were evaluated at baseline (Time 1), midtreatment (Time 2), and posttreatment (Time 3).Results: Participants demonstrated improved memory, self-awareness, strategy use, and functional status. Participants reported enhanced confidence and better focus and found the remote program engaging and applicable to daily life, reporting increased preparedness for learning.Conclusion: Results provide preliminary proof-of-concept data suggesting that telehealth-based cognitive intervention is well accepted by patients and may improve cognitive functions in persons with MS.

Walking times and self-reported fatigue, anxiety, depression, and pain were measured. Serum VEGF and [Met5] ENK levels were measured in a subset of PwMS.Results: PwMS (n = 66) had significantly greater fatigue than controls (n = 35). In PwMS, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and pain were positively intercorrelated; fatigue was positively correlated with slower walking. Serum ENK and VEGF had a trending negative relationship.

Prior research suggests this may reflect natural MS fluctuations rather than true treatment waning; however, this has not been confirmed for anti-CD20 agents (e.g., ocrelizumab). Daily step count (STEPS) can reflect overall function. This study examined temporal associations between anti-CD20 therapy infusions and STEPS.Methods: Retrospective analysis evaluated data from two Fitbit-monitored cohorts (N = 145 total, 32 anti-CD20-treated participants) across 60 treatment cycles. Monthly STEPS were recorded directly pre- and three-month post-infusion over the six-month treatment intervals. Mixed-effects models evaluated the relationship between infusion timing, STEPS, and participant demographics, controlling for confounding variables.Results: No significant difference in STEPS was observed pre- versus post-infusion (p = 0.32). An average decrease of 3.3% was noted post-infusion but was not statistically significant. No associations between STEPS and participant characteristics (e.g., age, disability level) were identified.

Although endogenous remyelination occurs, it is often insufficient, and finding molecules promoting repair of demyelinated lesions is needed.Objectives: To compare the remyelination potential of evobrutinib, an inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase and clemastine, an antagonist of M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor.Methods: Remyelination was investigated in lysolecithin demyelinated organotypic mouse cerebellar slices and a transgenic Xenopus model of inducible-demyelination.Results: Evobrutinib (100 nM) and clemastine (200 nM) potentiated remyelination of mouse cerebellar slices by a factor of 2.9 and 1.76, respectively. In conditionally demyelinated Xenopus, evobrutinib and clemastine increased remyelination by a factor of 1.61 and 1.92, respectively. Evobrutinib targets Bruton's tyrosine kinase expressed by microglia, and we showed that the increase in number of myeloid cells following demyelination is due to an extravasation from nearby vessels of macrophages migrating toward the optic nerve. In contrast, clemastine is expected to antagonize muscarinic receptor 1 expressing cells of the oligodendroglial lineage. We investigated a possible synergistic effect on remyelination by adding simultaneously both molecules. In both experimental models tested no significative improvement on remyelination of co-treatment with evobrutinib plus clemastine was observed.Discussion: While evobrutinib increased 1.59 fold the number of microglia/macrophages, in the presence of clemastine the number of innate immune cells was decreased by 0.39 fold, therefore counteracting the beneficial effect of microglia/macrophages on remyelination.","PeriodicalId":18961,"journal":{"name":"Multiple Sclerosis Journal - Experimental, Translational and Clinical","volume":"11 1","pages":"20552173251326913"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11930471/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143692499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
