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.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (based on the McDonald criteria).
- You have some difficulty with walking.
- You can get yourself to the testing and exercise sessions.
- You are not pregnant.
- You haven't had an MS relapse in the last 2 months, have no other nerve-related conditions, no pacemaker or metal implants, and no uncontrolled high blood pressure.

This study tests whether a strength-training program (like lifting weights or using resistance bands) can help people with multiple sclerosis feel better and move better. It is for people who can walk on their own and have been stable (no recent relapses).
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 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.
