Comparing Strength and Fitness in Multiple Sclerosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study compares physical fitness, muscle strength, and a natural hormone called irisin between people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy volunteers. Understanding these differences may help doctors better support MS patients in staying as strong and active as possible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 65 years old
- Have a confirmed MS diagnosis (if you have MS) or be a healthy volunteer without MS
- Be able to read and speak Turkish
- Have no other neurological conditions besides MS
- Not have had an MS flare-up or steroid treatment in the past month
- Be able to walk and move without major orthopedic (bone or joint) problems that prevent exercise testing

This study measures breathing muscle strength and endurance in people with multiple sclerosis. It aims to find cut-off values that may help track respiratory health.
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with multiple sclerosis. It aims to understand what factors are linked to muscle loss, which could help improve care.
This study tests whether mixed reality (a type of virtual reality) can be used to measure how people with multiple sclerosis walk and move. It aims to see if these high-tech tests are valid and reliable, which could lead to easier and more fun ways to check mobility in the future.
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 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 looks at how MS affects the strength of your breathing muscles and leg muscles. If you join, you will have tests to measure your muscle strength, walking ability, and fatigue. This may help doctors understand how to better treat MS-related weakness.
