NCT ID NCT07571304

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether doing thinking tasks (like counting backwards or matching colors) at the same time as physical exercises can improve walking, balance, and memory in teens with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis. Twenty-two participants aged 12–18 will be randomly assigned to either standard exercise or dual-task training for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if the combined approach works better than exercise alone.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Dual-task exercise training (motor plus cognitive tasks during physiotherapy)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve both movement and thinking in young people with MS.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 22 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The improvement may be modest or no better than standard exercise.
