What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now

Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

Researchers are comparing two ways of delivering exercise therapy to people with multiple sclerosis: supervised sessions with a physiotherapist and a program followed over the internet. The study enrolls 34 adults with moderate to severe disability, measured by an EDSS score of 5.5 to 7.5. Over two months, participants complete aerobic, strengthening, balance, and relaxation exercises. The team measures changes in walking endurance and fatigue to see whether the internet-based approach works as well as in-person supervision.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
exercise programs delivered either in person under a physiotherapist's supervision or over the internet
What this could lead to
If internet-based exercise works as well as supervised sessions, people with multiple sclerosis who struggle to travel could get effective rehabilitation at home.
What could go wrong
This is a small study of 34 people with significant disability, so the results may not apply to everyone with MS. Exercise can also cause fatigue or strain, and some participants may not complete the program.
