Study Summary
This trial studies the effectiveness of an exercise training program for wheelchair-users with MS, to see if it can improve metabolic health, MS symptoms and exercise behavior.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Multiple Sclerosis who are mostly wheelchair users and not currently active, meaning they don't do regular physical activity more than twice a week. They must have been relapse-free for the last month and will need a doctor's okay if there are health concerns that usually suggest exercise isn't safe.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a new exercise program called SPIN against a wellness program named WellMS in people with MS using wheelchairs. It looks at how well these programs work by checking participant numbers, satisfaction, safety, changes in metabolic health, MS symptoms, and whether participants stick to exercising after the 16-week course.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves exercise programs rather than medication or medical procedures, side effects may include typical responses to new physical activities such as muscle soreness or fatigue. Any serious adverse events related to the exercises would be closely monitored.
