Participate in a Clinical Trial
Without the participation of people with MS, it would be impossible to develop new and better therapies and other interventions.

Telehealth Pain Self-Management for Employed Adults
The E-TIPS trial will evaluate an evidence-based, telehealth pain self-management intervention compared to standard care (a waitlist) for chronic pain in adults with physical disabilities who are employed. Participants from anywhere in the US will be randomized to either E-TIPS, a cognitive-behavioral pain self-management intervention delivered by telephone, or a waitlist control. Outcomes, including pain interference, will be assessed at baseline, mid-treatment, post-treatment, and 6-month follow up.

Telerehabilitation of Multidomain Cognitive Impairment in Multiple Sclerosis
Treating cognitive impairment (CI) in multiple sclerosis (MS), the leading cause of disability due to nontraumatic neurological disease in young adults, is an important challenge. The contribution of CI to disability in MS has been increasingly recognized, and CI has been shown to decrease health-related quality of life (HR-QOL), even in the early stages of the disease. CI negatively impacts daily activities such as driving, vocational status, absenteeism, and instrumental activities in persons living with MS (PwMS). No medication has proven to have a consistent symptomatic effect on CI in MS, and disease-modifying therapies only...

TENS in Persons With MS
Persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) often have an increased sense of fatigue. Furthermore, they present walking difficulties which negatively affects their mobility and results in an additional increase of fatigue. Previous literature suggests that transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) of leg muscles might increase their walking capacity and decrease perception of fatigue. In the present study we aim to investigate whether TENS of leg muscles reduces walking difficulties and sense of fatigue in pwMS in comparison with a short strength training protocol or no training. A similar aim is addressed after TENS of elbow flexor ...

The Effect of Backward Walking Training on Balance, Gait and Functional Mobility in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Backward walking training can be a useful treatment approach, providing novel balance and gait challenges. It can lead to improve balance, gait and functional mobility in neurologic populations. However, the effect of backward walking training has net been investigated in people with multiple sclerosis.

The Effect of Hybrid Telerehabilitation-Based Structured Exercise Programs in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
The aim of our study is to compare the effects of hybrid telerehabilitation (TR)-based exercise program applied in patients with MS, only TR-based exercise program and only clinical-based exercise program on walking speed, functional capacity, peripheral muscle saturation and fatigue. Forty-five individuals with MS with EDSS scores between 0-4 will be included in the study. The patients will be randomized into three groups: Group A, Group B, and Group C. Group A- Telerehabilitation group will be included in an aerobic and strengthening exercise program over the synchronized videoconference system with the physiotherapist 2 days a...

The Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Balance and Postural Control in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients on balance and postural control. The main question it aims to answer are: • Is IMT effective in improving balance and postural control in MS patients? Participants will be randomly divided into two groups. One group will be given only balance exercises. The other group will be given IMT treatment in addition to balance exercises.

The Effect of Motor Imagery on Balance in Persons With Multiple Sclerosis
This study will investigate if the use of motor imagery to practice a balance task is as effective as physically practicing balance tasks as measured by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) in persons with MS. A secondary purpose is to investigate if using a motor imagery balance intervention will limit fatigue typically experienced with physical movement in this population.

The Effect of Reflexology and Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises (Kegel) on Urinary Incontinence in MS Patients
The research was carried out as experiment, control group, pretest-posttest model and single-blind. The population of the study consisted of MS patients who applied to OMU (Ondokuz Mayıs University) Neurology Service and Neurology Outpatient Clinic between March 2020 and February 2022. Fifteen patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Patients were divided into reflexology, pelvic floor muscle exercise and control groups. The control group was not intervened, only data collection tools were applied.

the Effect of Reiki Application on Depression, Anxiety and Physical Activity in Patient With Multiple Sclerosis
During Reiki application, individuals may report feeling a slight warm sensation under and near the therapist's hand. The only rule in Reiki practice is that the individual must give permission to the practitioner to facilitate the flow of energy. The person receiving Reiki during the application does not have to believe in Reiki. Because Reiki is universal life energy and is available to everyone. Reiki is generally safe and no serious side effects have been reported. Reiki practice in the last 10 years; It is increasing among physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals. This study was planned to investigate the effect...
