Gait training for people with multiple sclerosis using treadmill exercises
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests a high-intensity treadmill walking program designed to improve walking stability for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help you build safer, more confident walking, but you must meet several health and ability requirements to take part.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of MS and your MS symptoms must be stable recently (no major worsening in the last 3 months and no MS flare in the last 4 weeks).
- Your MS treatment plan has been steady for at least 1 month, with no steroid treatment in the last 1 month and no certain injections near the knee in the last 3 months.
- You are age 18 to 65, weigh under 135 kg, and can follow three simple commands during a brief memory/thinking test.
- Your heart and blood sugar are stable: no heart attack in the last month, blood pressure must be below 190/110 at rest, and diabetes must be controlled.
- You are medically well enough to exercise: no active infection and no major heart/lung/bone problems that would make walking training unsafe.
- You can physically do treadmill walking training safely (enough hip/knee/ankle movement and you can walk 10 meters).

This trial tests whether high intensity exercise can improve both movement and thinking in people with multiple sclerosis. It might help if you can walk but need some support for balance.
This study is testing a new way to help people with progressive multiple sclerosis improve their walking and motor skills. If you have mild to moderate trouble walking and meet some other health criteria, you may be able to join.
This study tests a program to help people with progressive multiple sclerosis who have severe walking difficulty. It aims to see if the program is feasible and can improve motor skills.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can improve walking, balance, and memory in people with multiple sclerosis. Researchers will measure these abilities before and after the training program.
This trial studies whether a combined exercise program (aerobic and resistance training) can improve walking, balance, and overall well-being for people with MS. It's designed for those who don't currently exercise regularly.
This study tests a multimodal exercise program for people with multiple sclerosis. It aims to improve mobility, strength, and overall well-being through guided exercises you can do at home.
