Impact of Exercise Training on Serum Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), Brain Volumetry, and Functional Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis
The Effect of an Exercise Intervention on Serum Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), Brain Volumetry and and Functional Outcomes in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This single-blind, randomized controlled trial will employ a two-arm parallel design (exercise group vs. control group) with a 12-week intervention period. Randomization will be implemented using SPSS 25.0 (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA) to ensure balanced group allocation. All outcome measures will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention.
