Gut Microbiota Composition, Cognitive Function, and Physical Fitness in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Gut Microbiota Composition, Cognitive Function, and Physical Fitness in Multiple Sclerosis Patients

NCT06220409

CompletedNA

Sponsor: Comenius University

Conditions: Sclerosis, Multiple

Interventions: Dance classes

Countries: Slovakia

The evidence suggests that multiple sclerosis (MS) induces a decline in motor and cognitive function and provokes a shift in gut microbiome composition in patients. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the effect of a 12-week dance class training program on the gut microbiota composition, motor function, and cognitive function of patients with MS. The investigators will also study the following: * The impact of organised physical activity on quality of life * The impact of organised physical activity on body composition and metabolic parameters (e.g., insulin sensitivity, lipid profile, ect.) * The impact of organised physical activity on physical fitness (e.g., VO2max, Power, ect.)
