Psilocybin Therapy for Psychological Distress in Palliative Patients

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether psilocybin therapy can effectively treat depression and psychological distress in adult patients with COPD, ALS, MS, or APD who have at least 6 months life expectancy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can psilocybin therapy safely reduce depressive symptoms compared to low-dose control? * Will the therapeutic effects be rapid and sustained over a 6-month period? Researchers will compare patients receiving two escalating doses of psilocybin (15mg followed by 25mg) against those receiving two low doses (1mg) to see if the higher doses lead to greater improvements in depression, anxiety, demoralization, and quality of life. Participants will: * Attend three preparation sessions with psychotherapists (1-2 hours each) * Undergo two supervised psilocybin dosing sessions (6-8 hours each) * Complete five integration therapy sessions following the dosing sessions * Participate in follow-up assessments at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months * Have access to a digital care platform and peer support groups during the 6-month follow-up period * Optional: Control group participants may receive one high-dose psilocybin session (25mg) after the initial study period

At Home Use of Stimulation Suits for Managing MS Symptoms

This study is being carried out at Multiple Sclerosis (MS) centers to evaluate whether a full-body stimulation suit at home can help people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) reduce symptoms like spasticity (muscle stiffness) and ataxia (poor coordination), and improve daily functioning. Can pwMS who experience spasticity or ataxia benefit from using a stimulation suit for 6 weeks? Researchers will compare two groups: an intervention group (who will use the suit) and a control group (who will not use the suit). Participants in the intervention group will: * Wear the suit for 6 weeks in total every day or every other day (1 week during their MS center admission and 5 weeks at home). * Receive their usual care in addition to wearing the suit. * Undergo clinical tests at the MS center after 1 week and 6 weeks of stimulation. Participants in the control group will: * Receive their usual care. * Undergo clincial tests at the same time points as the other group.

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

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).

Assessment of Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation's Clinical Efficacy in Treating Cognitive Impairment of Idiopathic Inflammatory Demyelinating Diseases

This study aims to explore the imaging and electrophysiological characteristics of idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating diseases (IIDDs), and their correlation with clinical manifestations. It also evaluates the effectiveness of transcranial electrical stimulation in alleviating clinical symptoms of IIDDs patients, and analyzes the key factors affecting the treatment efficacy. By uncovering the overall and individual characteristics of IIDDs, this study seeks to enhance therapeutic outcomes through personalized neuromodulation programs. The findings will provide a basis for applying non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) in IIDDs treatment and offer new ideas for future personalized medicine approaches.

Dubousset Functional Test: an Investigation of Its Validity and Reliability in Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in the central nervous system. The disease affects the white matter, cortex and deep gray matter of the central nervous system and is characterized by inflammatory-demyelinating lesions and neuronal/axonal degeneration. Demyelination associated with these lesions and the accompanying axonal degeneration are responsible for neurological disability in MS. There are many scales and mobility and functional performance tests in the literature to assess balance, such as the Sit Reach Test, Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) (5) and Balance Evaluation System Test (BESTest). The most appropriate balance assessment scales for individuals with MS are those that assess static and dynamic sitting balance while standing and dynamic balance only. Since balance in individuals with MS is a dynamic process that changes gradually, new measurement methods that can record these changes and determine the appropriate treatment for these variables are needed. The Dubousset Functional Test (DFT) was developed by Dr. Jean Dubousset as a four-component practical assessment to evaluate the physical function and balance capacity of individuals with spinal deformity. The DFT consists of four components: getting up from an armless chair and walking 5 meters forward and backward, ascending and descending steps, transition from standing to sitting position, and gait assessment with a dual task test (counting backwards from 50). The difference of this test from the others is that it evaluates the spinopelvic muscle groups that are directly related to functionality, maintains the global trunk alignment of the individual and provides objective results about functional performance and balance. In addition, unlike other functional performance tests, the DFT assesses the neurophysiological effects of the process that requires individuals to perform two tasks at the same time by measuring their coordination, balance, attention and thinking skills during functioning through a dual task component. The validity and reliability of this test has been previously investigated in low back pain, stroke, parkinson's disease, elderly individuals and hemiplegia. In this study, it was aimed to examine the validity and reliability of the Dubousset functional test in individuals with multiple sclerosis.
