Follow-up Study of the Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Therapy in MS Patients
A study testing Training groupe, PNF and Spinning grp in people with Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Progressive and Multiple Sclerosis, Primary Progressive, run by Somogy Megyei Kaposi Mór Teaching Hospital at 1 site in Hungary.
Trial summary
Different therapies can improve clinical and motor symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) similarly, but studies comparing the effects of different exercise therapies on clinical and motor outcomes are scant. Read more about this study

About this study
Different therapies can improve clinical and motor symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) similarly, but studies comparing the effects of different exercise therapies on clinical and motor outcomes are scant. We compared the effects of exergaming (EXE), balance (BAL), cycling (CYC), proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and a standard care wait-listed control group (CON) on clinical and motor symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in people with MS (PwMS).
Methods: PwMS (n = 68, 90% female; age, 47.0 yr; Expanded Disability Status Scale score 5-6) were randomized into five groups. Before and after the interventions (five times a week for 5 wk), PwMS were tested for MS-related clinical and motor symptoms (Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29 (MSIS-29), primary outcome), QoL (EuroQol Five Dimensions Questionnaire), symptoms of depression, gait and balance ability (Tinetti Assessment Tool), static and dynamic balance and fall risk (Berg Balance Scale), walking capacity (6-min walk test), and standing posturography on a force platform.
Patients were followed up for 2 years after 5 weeks of intensive care. Tests are performed every six months.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Postural instability
Body sway (mm) (Posturography test)
Measured: 2 years
EQ-5D quality of life
EQ-5D (EQ-5D was first introduced in 1990 by the EuroQol Group, The EQ-5D questionnaire is made up for two components; health state description and evaluation)
Measured: 2 years
balance test
Berg Balance test (The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) was developed to measure balance among older people with impairment in balance function by assessing the performance of functional tasks, 41-56 = low fall risk, 21-40 = medium fall risk, 0 -20 = high fall risk )
Measured: 2 years
mobility test
Six minutes walk test (6MWT) (m) (The six-minute walk test (6MWT) measures the distance an individual is able to walk over a total of six minutes on a hard, flat surface. The goal is for the individual to walk as far as possible in six minutes. The individual is allowed to self-pace and rest as needed as they traverse back and forth along a marked walkway)
Measured: 2 years
depression scale
Beck Depression scale (The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a 21-item, self-report rating inventory that measures characteristic attitudes and symptoms of depression, 0-13: minimal depression, 14-19: mild depression, 20-28: moderate depression, 29-63: severe depression)
Measured: 2 years
MSIS-29
Multiple Sclerosis Questionnaire
Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Training groupe, PNF and Spinning grp in people with Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Progressive and Multiple Sclerosis, Primary Progressive, run by Somogy Megyei Kaposi Mór Teaching Hospital at 1 site in Hungary.
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 1 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 5 Apr 2022. 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 Hungary. 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?
Postural instability (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 6 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 5 Apr 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
