Resistance training and walking in multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether resistance training (like lifting weights) can improve how your brain and muscles communicate, and whether that helps your walking. It's designed for people with MS who have some walking difficulties.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
This study tests whether a specific type of leg exercise (called eccentric exercise) can help reduce fatigue in people with Multiple Sclerosis. It involves walking and other exercises to see if they improve how tired you feel.
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.
This trial tests whether a program of aerobic and resistance exercise can improve immune function in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). If you have RRMS and are not very physically active, this study may help you understand how exercise affects your MS.
