Dual-Task Training for Teens with Multiple Sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing two things at once while exercising (like walking while counting) helps teenagers with multiple sclerosis improve balance, coordination, and daily functioning. The goal is to see if this type of training is better than standard exercise for managing MS symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (MS that started before age 18)

- No other bone or joint problems affecting how you move
- No severe vision problems that would make it hard to exercise safely
- No recent MS flare-up or steroid treatment in the last 3 months
