Exercise and muscle health in older adults with MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests how exercise affects muscle health in people aged 60 or older with multiple sclerosis. It may help you understand if a structured exercise program can improve your strength and mobility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years or older.
- You have multiple sclerosis but no other serious health problems like heart disease or diabetes.
- You have not done a regular exercise program (two or more times a week) in the last 6 months.
- You are able to walk and your disability level is mild to moderate (EDSS score between 2 and 5.5).
- You can commit to about 4 months of study visits and exercise sessions.

This study looks at how different older adults respond to exercise. It will help researchers understand why some people benefit more than others. You will be asked to do supervised exercise sessions and tests over about 6 months.
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 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 whether a personalized exercise program can help older adults age better. It is for people who are 60+ and have some mild issues with mobility, thinking, or mood, but are otherwise healthy enough to exercise safely.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help people with relapsing-remitting MS by measuring changes in brain protein levels, brain structure on MRI scans, and physical function. Researchers want to see if exercise might slow disease progression and improve quality of life.
This study tests whether exercise can help people with advanced multiple sclerosis improve their strength, mobility, and quality of life. You would work with trainers on customized exercise programs, possibly including a special bike that uses electrical stimulation to help your muscles work.
