Exercise as a Supplemental Treatment Strategy Early in the Disease Course of Multiple Sclerosis

Detailed Summary

This study seeks to investigate whether early exercise efforts can expand the use of exercise in Multiple sclerosis (MS), from symptom treatment only, to early supplementary disease-modifying treatment. The study will be conducted in a randomized and controlled manner, with single blinding. Participants will be allocated to either a systematic aerobic exercise intervention or an educational programme on exercise and physical activity. Both interventions will last 1 year, and involve a 1 year follow-up period. It is hypothesized that early exercise efforts can modify the disease activity and disability progression.
