MS FIT App for Multiple Sclerosis
(MS FIT Trial)
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests the MS FIT app, which helps MS patients track falls, view health data, and get fall prevention tips. It targets MS patients because they often experience falls that affect their daily lives. The app uses data from health records, wearables, and surveys to monitor falls and provide personalized advice.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It mentions that participants can be on any MS therapy or no treatment at all.
What data supports the effectiveness of the MS FIT treatment for multiple sclerosis?
How is the MS FIT App treatment different from other treatments for multiple sclerosis?
The MS FIT App treatment is unique because it uses digital technology to deliver motor and cognitive rehabilitation remotely, allowing for continuous monitoring and self-assessment of symptoms like fatigue and balance, which are difficult to detect with traditional methods. This approach provides a more personalized and accessible way to manage multiple sclerosis compared to standard in-person treatments.24678
