Tremor and cognition in Multiple Sclerosis: implementing novel treatments and computerized monitoring strategies. [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Anneke van der Walt (Principal investigator)

Brief description This research program aims to study two disabling symptoms of multiple sclerosis namely upper limb shaking, or tremor, and memory dysfunction. The first project will develop a new treatment for MS arm tremor, Botulinum toxin injections, into routine clinical practice. The second project aims to make available a computerised test of memory that can be done in clinic waiting rooms or at home. This will help neurologists to rapidly pick up changes in memory in a person with MS and improve care.
