What is the Coimbra Protocol in MS study?<\/h4>\n

Over three years, the study will observe 100 patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis who are just at the start of their treatment with a certified protocol doctor.<\/p>\n

The aim of the observational study is, first of all, to prove that there is no risk of harm from the Coimbra Protocol if it is followed correctly. At the end of the observation period, the data from the study participants will be compared with similar cases from the Charit\u00e9\u2019s ongoing trials register to document the effectiveness compared with the pharmacological core treatments and\/or treatment-naive individuals.<\/p>\n

What makes this study so important?<\/h4>\n

In social networks there are many positive testimonials, especially with relapsing-remitting MS. There are more than 140 protocol doctors worldwide, who have so far treated around 30,000 patients with autoimmune diseases. Nevertheless, so far there have not been any studies on its long-term safety or on Dr Coimbra\u2019s theory of a genetic vitamin D resistance. We at the non-profit Coimbraprotokoll gUGmbH want to change this by organising more research over the longer term and producing scientific documentation with reliable figures.<\/p>\n

The three-year observational study on the Coimbra Protocol in MS, led by Prof. Friedemann Paul at the NeuroCure Research Center of the Charit\u00e9 university hospital in Berlin, marks the start of this strategy.<\/p>\n

We are very grateful to the Falk-Stiftung f\u00fcr Gesundheit und Bildung in Nuremberg \u2013 a very generous, competent partner who is financing the entire study, including its preparation, for a period of four years.<\/p>\n

The study is an important step towards convincing a wider public of the Coimbra Protocol, its safety and effectiveness.<\/p>\n

Who can take part?<\/h4>\n

The study is open to patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis who have just started Coimbra Protocol treatment under the supervision of a certified protocol doctor, or have decided to do so and will start treatment soon. Your protocol doctor will have information leaflets about the study on display or will be able to provide them on request, if you or a patient you know with relapsing-remitting MS is interested.<\/p>\n

The final selection of study participants will be made by the Charit\u00e9 team using criteria that have been defined in advance in consultation with the German Ethics Council to ensure that the observed group has a good mix of individuals. This will also ensure that the study is comparable with other MS studies.<\/p>\n

Charit\u00e9 is running a purely observational study that will not influence patients\u2019 medication-based treatment or other therapy. However, comprehensive examinations will take place, which may also provide additional information for the study participants.<\/p>\n

It is possible to travel to Berlin and stay in a hotel for the purposes of a medical examination at any time.<\/p>\n

What are the benefits?<\/h4>\n

Since the study is being financed through charitable donations, there is no payment for taking part. However, travel costs of up to \u20ac200 per visit to Charit\u00e9 will be reimbursed.<\/p>\n

In addition, we have managed to secure D-Light-Full as a sponsor. Every study participant will receive a \u20ac200 voucher to spend on supplements in the online shop at www.d-light-full.de<\/a> !<\/p>\n

You will receive the voucher once you send us proof of your participation in the study by email: info@coimbraprotokoll.de<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1655202882121{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #f9f9f9 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

As well as studying the clinical course of the disease and collecting data on safety, we want to investigate the impact of high-dose vitamin D therapy at the genetic level. What links can be observed between the administration of high doses of vitamin D, gene expression, the immune system and patient health?<\/p>\n
