"Selfie" Videos: A Novel, Patient-centered, Comprehensive Approach to Measuring Function in MS

Sponsor

University of California, San Francisco

Enrollment

300 participants

Start Date

Oct 1, 2025

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Multiple Sclerosis MS (Multiple Sclerosis)Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - Relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Secondary Progressive MS

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to validate a novel, cost-effective method for real-world assessment using patient-acquired "selfie" videos in people with multiple sclerosis. The investigators aim to prove the feasibility and validity of monitoring walking changes remotely through a truly patient-centered, low-burden, low-cost approach. The main question this study aims to answer is: do remotely collected walking and speech videos from a mobile phone match the information investigators can gather from an in person visit? Participants will collect 5 "selfie" videos at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months (about 15 minutes every 3 months). They will also come in person at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months for in person data collection (about 1 hour per in person visit).

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is exploring whether patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) can use short selfie-style videos — recorded on their own phone, tablet, or camera — as a way for doctors to measure changes in physical function over time. The goal is to develop a more patient-friendly, at-home alternative to clinic-based function tests. **You may be eligible if...** - You have a diagnosis of MS - You are 18 or older - Your MS disability level is mild to moderate (EDSS score below 6.5) - You own a smartphone, tablet, or camera that can record video - If you cannot consent for yourself, you have a legal representative or surrogate decision maker **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are unwilling to participate - You cannot consent for yourself and do not have a legal representative Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
