Mobile app study

We have created a mobile application (available on Android and Apple systems) which asks participants to rate their MS and menstrual cycle related symptoms every day for two full menstrual cycles (or a 60-day equivalent).

We use a MS clinical questionnaire (symptoMScreen), which asks participants the severity of: mobility, dexterity, body pain, sensation, bladder function, fatigue, vision, dizziness, cognition, depression, and anxiety. In addition, we also use a menstrual cycle related questionnaire, which asks the severity of menstrual cycle related symptoms, such as poor concentration, disturbed sleep, headaches. This will enable us to profile how individual symptoms change across the menstrual cycle.

In this study, we are recruiting 90 individuals with MS (30 naturally cycling females, 30 hormonal contraceptive users, and 30 males).
