  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects and tolerability of exercise on side effects of injectable disease modifying treatments in multiple sclerosis. The investigators main hypothesis is that controlled exercise is safe and can be well tolerated in patients with multiple sclerosis and it can improve disease modifying treatment related side effects such as fatigue.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Multiple Sclerosis Fatigue
  • Quality of Life
  • Injection site visual analog scale (0-10)

Estimated Enrollment: 128
Study Start Date: May 2010
Estimated Study Completion Date: April 2011
Estimated Primary Completion Date: March 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: A = Active group
Patients will receive interactive exercise training session from an experienced multiple sclerosis
 Other: Physical exercise training
Two 2-hours long interactive training to perform safe and efficient aerobic exercise for patients with multiple sclerosis
Other Names:
  • Betaseron b1b-interferon
  • Aerobic exercise
No Intervention: B = Control group (Placebo Comparator)
Patients will receive general advice about benefits/side effects of physical activity in multiple sclerosis.

Detailed Description:

Patient compliance with disease modifying treatment largely depends on relatively common side effects of such treatments such as fatigue. Regular exercise can potentially improve these side effects. However, Safety and effects of exercise has not been studied in patients with multiple sclerosis. Our main aim is to study the safety, tolerability and effects of exercise on side effects of subcutaneous interferon-b1b in patients with Multiple Sclerosis.
