Exercise program for depression in people with multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program can help reduce symptoms of major depressive disorder in people who also have multiple sclerosis. You’ll complete questionnaires, wear an activity sensor, and do exercise testing while being assigned to the study program.
