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.

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.

Multiple Sclerosis
Additional Details

The study population will consist of patients with multiple sclerosis. Participants in the intervention and control groups will initially be given a brief briefing about the benefits of exercise training. Additionally, a short brochure explaining the effects of exercise in multiple sclerosis will be given. Participants in the intervention group will be allowed to join the group created by the researchers via Whatsapp. In this regard, it will be emphasized that should exercise at least 3 days a week. The participant will be asked to fill out the survey created via Google form in order to record their activity minutes in these three days. The total intervention period will be 8 weeks. Reminders to exercise will be given by the researchers in the created Whatsapp group. Participants in the control group will be encouraged to continue their routine lives. Average step counts will be recorded before and after treatment. Additionally, they will be asked to report their average step count each week via WhatsApp groups. Pre- and post-intervention evaluations will be carried out by a physiotherapist. Patients' physical activity levels, depression and anxiety, fatigue and quality of life parameters will be examined.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Experimental group

Participants will receive reminders regarding physical activity promotion via the social media group created.

Active Comparator: Control group

Participants will be encouraged to continue their routine lives.

Interventions

Other: - Physical activity tracking

At the beginning, patients will be given a brief information about the benefits of exercise training. Additionally, a short brochure explaining the effects of exercise in MS will be given. Participants in the intervention group will be asked to join one of two groups created by the researchers via messaging app. Reminders will be arranged on Monday-Wednesday-Thursday in one of the groups, and on Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday in the other group. In this regard, it will be emphasized that he/she should exercise at least 3 days a week. In this regard, they will be encouraged to walk for at least 30 minutes, 3 days a week, on the days they determine. The total intervention period will be 8 weeks. Reminders to exercise will be given by the researchers in the created messaging app group. Patients will be reminded to take their mobile phones with them during physical activity and to record their daily exercise minutes.

Other: - No physical activity tracking

At the beginning, patients will be given a brief information about the benefits of exercise training. Additionally, a short brochure explaining the effects of exercise in multiple sclerosis will be given. Participants will be encouraged to continue their routine lives and no reminders will be given.
