PREMiSe: Prospective Randomized Endovascular Therapy in Multiple Sclerosis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
-
To assess the safety of endovascular therapy (balloon angioplasty) for venous stenoses in MS patients with CCSVI as documented by sonographic (extracranial echocolor-Doppler (ECD) and transcranial color Doppler (TCD)
-
To study the morphology of the venous anomalies by using intraluminal ultrasound (IVUS).
-
To evaluate preliminary efficacy of endovascular therapy (angioplasty) as measured by clinical (relapse rate, disability progression (EDSS)), sonographic (ECD/TCD) and MRI/MRV parameters.
-
To evaluate change in patients self-reported QOL following the therapeutic angioplasty
-
To evaluate whether changes in QOL, fatigue, MSFC or attention following therapeutic angioplasty are associated with brain changes as measured by functional MRI (fMRI).

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Venous Angioplasty 20 patients will have venous angio plasty |
Other: Venous Angioplasty
venous angiogram to look for lesions or flaps and then plastying vessels open.
|
Sham Comparator: Angio with no plasty Patients will be brought to the angio suite and given and angio but no plasty although patient will not be aware of which treatment they are having. |
Other: Sham Angioplasty
Patients will be brought to the angio suite and will not know if they are having the venous angioplasty or not.
