Without the participation of people with MS, it would be impossible to develop new and better therapies and other interventions.
Effect of High Intensity Training on Motor and Cognitive Functions
Study Purpose
Fatigability is one of the most prevalent disorder in MS followed by walking, balance and cognitive disorders. However, there are few experimental studies on the effects of fatigability on balance and gait hampering the knowledge of causal fatigue-related changes of walking, balance and cognition. Nowadays, instrumented systems such as wearable devices and optoelectronic systems are available and can be used to provide quantitative and objective indexes useful to monitor the changes of gait parameters during a fatiguing performance. (Moreover), instrumented assessment of patients' performances in dual task paradigms can reveal the possible impact of fatigability on cognitive functions. So far, high intensity functional training has been already used in MS to reduce fatigability. However, the true impact of reduced fatigability on walking, balance and cognition has not been assessed after a fatiguing task making impossible to understand the real impact of treatments focusing on fatigability on these functions. Thus, the aims of the present proposal are to assess the: 1) the acute effect of experimentally induced motor fatigability on walking, balance and cognitive functions using an objective instrumented assessment before, during, and after an overground fatiguing walking test. 2) to investigate the effect of high intensity multimodal functional training to improve motor and cognitive disorders.

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries. |
NCT06219304 |
|
Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
