About this study

Official title: The Effect of Variable Intensity Work on Postural Instability, Motion Performance and Quality of Life in Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Abstract Introduction: Postural control disorders are the most common motor disorder associated with multiple sclerosis.

Objective: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the potential for improvement of postural control, motion performance and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis who are performing a special neurorevolutionary balancing program.

Intervention: The treated group (n = 15) performed five times a week for the treatment we defined. (60 minutes per day). The experimental group performed movements using the Xbox 360 and Kinect consoles. The study team participated in 25 sessions, five times a week. The duration of treatment was 5 weeks.The MStp group (n=14) participated in a 5-week physiotherapy course. The general treatment consisted of strengthening, stretching and walking correction. During the 5-week period, 25 patients attended training. One treatment takes 60 minutes. Sensory Organisation Test / Body Sway at the end of the baseline and treatment protocol is used to evaluate each patient. The quality of life mapping was measured by subjective tests (EQ-5D-5L, ADL). To assess the depressive state, a Beck depression questionnaire was used. Balance and motion performance were used by the Berg Balance Test and 6Minutes Walk Test. The results were compared with the control group results (n = 14) and showed improvement in overall balance and motion performance.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • NeurorehabilitationOther

    5-week-long intervention, administered daily, targeted postural instability, balance and mobility using at-limit intensity sensorimotor and visuomotor agility training

  • PhysiotherapyOther

    5-week-long intervention, physiotherapy, stretching, walking preparation, strengthening

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Postural instability

    Body sway (mm) (Posturography test)

    Measured: 5 weeks

  2. quality of life

    EQ-5D (EQ-5D was first introduced in 1990 by the EuroQol Group, The EQ-5D questionnaire is made up for two components; health state description and evaluation)

    Measured: 5 weeks

  3. balance test

    Berg Balance test (The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) was developed to measure balance among older people with impairment in balance function by assessing the performance of functional tasks, 41-56 = low fall risk, 21-40 = medium fall risk, 0 -20 = high fall risk )

    Measured: 5 weeks

  4. mobility test

    Six minutes walk test (6MWT) (m) (The six-minute walk test (6MWT) measures the distance an individual is able to walk over a total of six minutes on a hard, flat surface. The goal is for the individual to walk as far as possible in six minutes. The individual is allowed to self-pace and rest as needed as they traverse back and forth along a marked walkway)

    Measured: 5 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. depression scale

    Beck Depression scale (The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a 21-item, self-report rating inventory that measures characteristic attitudes and symptoms of depression, 0-13: minimal depression, 14-19: mild depression, 20-28: moderate depression, 29-63: severe depression)

    Measured: 5 weeks

Model description
The single-arm, 5-week intervention is monitor every day on the effect of postural control on walking performance, balance and quality of life. The intervention team (n = 15) takes 25 training sessions for 5 weeks. Every move takes 60 minutes to continuously increase the load intensity of the X-box program. Before each intervention started, the patients perform a 10 minute warm-up and the drainage exercises are 15 minutes stretching exercises. The MStp group (n=14) participated in a 5-week physiotherapy course. The general treatment consisted of strengthening, stretching and walking correction. During the 5-week period, 25 patients attended training. One treatment takes 60 minutes. The control group (n = 14) did not receive physiotherapeutic treatment outside the medication.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Neurorehabilitation and Physiotherapy in people with Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Progressive and Multiple Sclerosis, Primary Progressive, run by Somogy Megyei Kaposi Mór Teaching Hospital at 1 site in Hungary.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Hungary. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postural instability (time frame: 5 weeks). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Apr 2020.
