Trial summary

Multiple Sclerosis (ME) is a degenerative, inflammatory and autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, characterized by demyelination due to inflammation and degeneration of the myelin sheaths enveloping nerves of the eye, periventricular grey matter, brain, spinal cord and brainstem.

About this study

Official title: Acute Effects of Whole-body Vibration Training in Hypoxia and Normoxia Condition on Neuromuscular Performance and Mobility in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis (ME) is a degenerative, inflammatory and autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, characterized by demyelination due to inflammation and degeneration of the myelin sheaths enveloping nerves of the eye, periventricular grey matter, brain, spinal cord and brainstem. The symptoms associated with MS include symptomatic fatigue, muscle weakness, ataxia, mobility and balance problems or cognitive problems. Moderate intensity strength training has been shown to improve strength and mobility in persons with MS. It was suggested that whole-body vibration training (WBVT) is effective to improve muscle strength, such as resistance training, resulting from both neural and structural adaptations. On the other hand, traditional strength training in hypoxia has garnered much attention. This method has shown improvements in isometric strength and increases in muscle size.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise in people with Multiple Sclerosis, run by Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 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 27 Feb 2019. 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 Spain. 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?

Maximal Voluntary Isometric Contraction of Knee Extension (time frame: Immediately before the training sessions). The study lists 12 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 27 Feb 2019.
