Exercise effects on brain health and function in multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a regular exercise program can improve brain health, thinking, and physical abilities in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. It also looks at a blood marker called GFAP that may reflect brain activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), which is the most common form where symptoms come and go.
- Your MS symptoms cause mild to moderate disability (you can usually walk independently but may have some limitations).
- You have not had a relapse in the last 3 months.
- You have not used steroids (corticosteroids) for MS in the last 3 months.
- You are not already doing a structured exercise program more than 3 hours per week.
- You do not have other health conditions that prevent you from exercising safely (like severe joint problems or unstable heart or lung disease).
- You are eligible for an MRI (no metal implants, no severe claustrophobia).
- You have not started or changed your MS medication in the last 6 months.
