Tele-Exercise and Multiple Sclerosis
Tele-Exercise and Multiple Sclerosis

NCT03117881

CompletedNA

Sponsor: University of Alabama at Birmingham

Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis

Interventions: DirectCAM, TeleCAM, rDirectCAM

Countries: United States

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of two delivery models of an evidence-based complementary alternative medicine (CAM) program that combines neurorehabilitative (functional) exercise, yoga, and Pilates for adults age 18-70 with multiple sclerosis (MS). CAM will be delivered as a 12-week program through two different delivery forms: On-site at a clinic (DirectCAM) and telerehabilitation (TeleCAM). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these two groups. \*\*On March 16th, 2020, the University of Alabama at Birmingham halted all onsite non-essential research in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Since then, the study has begun to conduct all testing remotely through videoconferencing technology. In addition, another study group, remote DirectCAM (rDirectCAM), has been incorporated into the study to continue the 12-week program delivery for newly recruited participants via videoconferencing technology.\*\*
