Exercise and naps may boost brain training in MS patients

NCT ID NCT07304375

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a short burst of aerobic exercise on a stationary bike and a 30-minute nap can improve how people with multiple sclerosis learn and remember a hand motor skill. Twenty adults with relapsing-remitting MS will take part. Researchers will measure brain and muscle activity to see if these simple interventions enhance motor rehabilitation.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

aerobic exercise and daytime nap

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward simple, drug-free ways to boost motor rehabilitation in people with MS.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early-stage study with only 20 participants. It looks at short-term effects, so any benefits may not last or apply to everyone with MS.
