Educational Programs Based on Healthy Habits to Improve Quality of Life and Psychosocial Profile in Women With Neurodegenerative Diseases: the ADVICE Protocol Study (Phase 2)

NCT06884579

Active Not RecruitingNA

Sponsor: Universidad de Almeria

Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - Relapsing-remitting

Interventions: Strength training, nutrition, and behavioral training, Self-Guided and Unsupervised Program with General Recommendations

Countries: Spain

This phase of the project aims to compare in-person, supervised educational programs (EP) with online self-guided EPs in individuals with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. A total of 75 participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a supervised and individualized educational program focused on HIIT training, a supervised and individualized educational program focused on strength training, and a non-supervised, self-guided educational program based on resistance band training. Additionally, sessions on the Mediterranean diet (both supervised and non-supervised) and cognitive-behavioral interventions will be included. A control evaluation will be conducted three months after the intervention to assess the effects of the educational programs, followed by another evaluation three months later to analyze residual effects. Women who participated in Phase 1 of the study will be invited to take part in this second phase.
