Evaluation of Coagulation in Multiple Sclerosis

A Cross-Sectional Study of Coagulation in Multiple Sclerosis

• Status: Completed
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 69 (actual)
• Sponsor: Bastyr University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

Recent research in multiple sclerosis (MS) have suggested that altered coagulation and vascular inflammation may play a role in pathophysiology of MS. Sonoclot is viscoelastic method of analyzing clot formation. This instrument will be used to compare coagulation in individuals with MS to healthy controls. A 24-hour dietary recall and food frequency questionnaire will help determine whether coagulation is modified by fish consumption.

Detailed description

This case-control study will recruit individuals with a diagnosis of MS and healthy controls. Individuals will be asked to come to Bastyr Clinical Research Center for a single study visit, at which time dietary intake, current medications and supplements, other medical diagnoses, and coagulation will be evaluated.
