Read our Multiple Sclerosis research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a type of physical therapy called task-specific training for people with severe multiple sclerosis. Instead of general exercise, this therapy focuses on practicing specific movements and activities that matter to you in daily life. Researchers want to see if this approach is safe and effective for people with advanced MS.
Most research on physical therapy for MS has only studied people with mild to moderate disease. Doctors know that this focused type of therapy works well for other severe neurological conditions, but no one has tested it yet in people with advanced MS. This trial aims to fill that gap.
You would attend physical therapy sessions twice a week for 6 weeks, with each session lasting about 1 hour. During these sessions, you would work with a physical therapist on exercises designed to help you with specific tasks and movements that are meaningful to you—like improving your ability to move around or manage daily activities. The therapist will monitor your safety and progress throughout the program.
