Sponsor: University of Trieste
Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis
Interventions: Telerehabilitation
Countries: Italy
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of two different pelvic floor telerehabilitation protocols on selected measures of quality of life and health in females with relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis (rrMS). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is telerehabilitation sufficient to improve quality of life and health in females with rrMS, in particular dedicated to pelvic floor training? * Are self-administered training protocols or remotely-supervised training protocols equally effective? Participants will be randomized to two intervention groups: a self-administered training protocol (SELF) and a remotely-supervised (REMOTE) training protocol. Both protocols will consist in 10 sessions of pelvic floor training lasting 45 min each, once every 5 days. At the start and at the end of the protocol, all participants will complete 6 questionnaires regarding pain, quality of life and health.
