NCT ID NCT07578740
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on a stationary bike can improve walking, balance, and thinking in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Forty adults with mild to moderate MS will be randomly assigned to either HIIT or moderate-intensity continuous training for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in gait, balance, cognitive function, and blood markers related to brain health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training (MICT) on a cycle ergometer
What this could lead to
If HIIT proves better than standard exercise, it could offer a time-efficient way to improve mobility and thinking in people with MS.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise interventions also depend on adherence and may not show clear benefits.
