High-Intensity Exercise for Multiple Sclerosis: Walking, Balance, and Thinking
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can improve walking, balance, and memory in people with multiple sclerosis. Researchers will measure these abilities before and after the training program.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis by a neurologist
- You are 18 years old or older
- Your MS disability level is mild to moderate (EDSS score between 0 and 4, which means you can walk with or without assistance but are not severely disabled)
- You score 24 or higher on a memory and thinking test (Mini Mental State Examination)
- You have not had an MS relapse (flare-up) in the past 3 months
- Your MS has been stable for at least 6 months with no new major symptoms
