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 trial is testing whether aerobic exercise done at home—using a stationary bike—can help improve thinking skills and walking ability in people with multiple sclerosis who also have high blood pressure. High blood pressure can affect blood flow to the brain in ways that make MS symptoms worse. The study will compare people who do aerobic exercise training to people who do gentle stretching over 3 months.
Many people with multiple sclerosis struggle with thinking clearly and walking—and having high blood pressure on top of MS may make these problems worse. This trial exists because doctors don't know yet whether treating high blood pressure through exercise can help improve these symptoms in MS patients.

If you join this trial, you'll be randomly assigned to either an aerobic exercise group or a stretching control group. The aerobic group will use a stationary bike at home 3–4 days per week for 3 months, with coaching support provided online or by phone. The stretching group will follow a gentle stretching program at the same frequency. Both groups will have an initial in-person visit, then continue their program at home with regular check-ins from the study team to track your progress.
