Study Summary

This trial aims to test if a phone app can help patients with multiple sclerosis who don't exercise much to become more active.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Multiple Sclerosis who can walk without help but are not very active (less than 150 minutes of exercise per week). They must have an iPhone or Android phone to use the study app and cannot be at high risk of falling or have other conditions that make exercising unsafe.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a phone-based app called ExerciseRx designed to increase physical activity in people with MS. Participants will use this app, which aims to promote more movement through personalized guidance and tracking.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves increased physical activity, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, and an increased risk of falls for those predisposed. However, individuals at higher fall risk are excluded from the trial.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Intervention ExerciseRx-MSExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants use the ExerciseRx app to meet personalized daily step targets and weekly goals. They will receive MS Exercise and Physical Activity Recommendations and complete in-app surveys about barriers to being active and physical activity level. The ExerciseRx app will adjust the personalized step count goals based on percentage met of the previous week goal and providers will send supportive messages based on participant activity. Participants will complete validated self-report assessments. Providers may also provide participants with additional guidance, make referrals, or schedule telemedicine or in-person clinic follow ups if needed to support the participant's physical activity progression.
Group II: Usual careActive Control1 Intervention
Participants receive MS Exercise and Physical Activity Recommendations, will continue typical physical activity, and complete validated self-report assessments. At the end of 26 weeks, staff will offer the participants the ExerciseRx intervention protocol.
