What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

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 Results may not be published yet.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

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

This study looked at how different types of exercise affect the brain and body in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Twelve participants tried traditional aerobic exercise, virtual reality (VR) aerobic exercise (using the game Beat Saber), and standard exercises. Researchers measured brain activity, body temperature, fatigue, and satisfaction to see if VR exercise is safe and effective for future telerehabilitation.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
exercise (aerobic, VR-based, and conventional)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that VR-based aerobic exercise is a safe and effective option for telerehabilitation in MS.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study (12 participants) that only looks at immediate effects, not long-term benefits or risks.
