First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a strength training program using blood flow restriction (BFR) in people with advanced multiple sclerosis (MS) who need help walking or use a wheelchair. BFR uses a device that partially blocks blood flow to the exercising limb, allowing low-intensity exercise to build muscle like high-intensity training. The goal is to improve strength, mobility, fatigue, and quality of life. The study enrolls 58 Veterans with MS.
