Participants must be able to walk without help, have low physical activity levels, internet access, speak English, and not be at risk of injury from exercise.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests an online program promoting physical activity (BIPAMS) to improve sexual dysfunction in women with MS. It explores if regular exercise can enhance well-being and quality of life by managing symptoms related to sexual health.See study design

What are the potential side effects?
