Study population: Due to the double question about the expected benefits of our CR program, the inclusion of patients was conducted in two distinct periods, from specialized MS consultations in the services of Neurology and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation ( MPR) of the University Hospital of Nantes (France). The first period (I) would lead to compare patients with EDSS less than 6 performing an exercise training (retrained group = IA) and patients with similar levels of EDSS not engaged in physical training (not retrained group = IB). The second period (II) compared to patients EDSS between 6 and 8 (EDSS group high = IIA) and patients with lower EDSS (EDSS group IIB = low), the two groups were following a RE program.
Who may be able to join
- Patients necessarily declare fatigue perceived as annoying in everyday life.
- Basic electrocardiogram should be absolutely normal.
- Patients should subject themselves to regular participation in the RE program
Who cannot join
- In the previous month the inclusion or during the RE, the MS patients should not have presented thrust nor undergone intravenous chemotherapy, or have been in care center.
- Free of cognitive impairment.

About this study
Regular physical activity promotes physical and mental well-being in the general population. Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS patients) tend them, to limit their physical activity or because of deficiencies related to the disease, or even on the advice of their caregivers in order to save their functional abilities. Time for leisure activity could be almost 20% lower in MS patients compared to healthy controls, and this situation is likely to aggravate the functional symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
The literature described the benefit of physical activity for MS patients according to protocols and varied assessments. Evaluations were indeed concern very analytical elements of metabolic functioning, nervous, muscular, cardiopulmonary etc ... or take into account the performance of components or fatigue and quality of life. Due to the multiplicity of RE protocols, sometimes on the verge of pragmatic goals of functional rehabilitation, the double issue was the profit earned by an RE program and of this benefit by level of severity of MS. The main objective of our study was an evaluation of the effects on fatigue and quality of life of a retraining program to effort suitable for levels of impairment and patients with MS activity limitations. The secondary objective was checking a performance improvement of the patients in this adapted program.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Re-training to effort (RE)Other
The RE program includes three weekly sessions, supervised individually by a teacher in adapted physical activity, during 1:30, for four weeks, for a total of 12 sessions
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| IA group | EDSS (Expanded Disability Status Scale) below 6 with RE Receives: Other: Re-training to effort (RE) | |
| IB group | EDSS (Expanded Disability Status Scale) below 6 with no RE | |
| IIA group | EDSS (Expanded Disability Status Scale) betwin 6 and 8 with RE Receives: Other: Re-training to effort (RE) | |
| IIB group | EDSS (Expanded Disability Status Scale) below 6 with RE Receives: Other: Re-training to effort (RE) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
SEP-59 questionnaire in MS
The first main criteria was established by the link between the quality of life (SEP-59 self-questionnaire scores) and the specific numerical data of multiple sclerosis
Measured: 1 month
Scale impact of fatigue in MS (EMIF-SEP)
The second main criteria was established by the link between the fatigue (scale impact of fatigue in MS (EMIF-SEP), self-questionnaire scores) and the specific numerical data of multiple sclerosis
Measured: 1 month

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
SEP-59 questionnaire in MS (time frame: 1 month). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Jul 2016.
