NCT ID NCT04768777
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an internet-based physical activity program can improve sexual dysfunction in women with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Thirty women with MS and sexual problems will use a website and have video chats with a coach to increase their physical activity. The goal is to see if this approach can boost sexual function and quality of life without medication.
