Summary

In this longitudinal prospective natural history study of multiple sclerosis (MS), the overarching goal is to understand the factors that influence individual variation in disease trajectory and treatment response and pave the way for realizing precision medicine in MS. Because MS is a chronic neurological disorder, this observational cohort study will span a 30-year time frame.

Description

Research Activities: Initial Questionnaire, Questionnaire for Self-Reported Outcomes, Biological Sample Collection (Blood, Stool, Urine, Cerebrospinal fluid), Genetic Analysis, Standard Quantitative Assessment of Function, Cognitive Assessment, Neuroimaging, Biometric Sensors, Social Network Questionnaire, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, NEO Five-Factor Inventory, and the COVID19 Response Surveys.
