Active and Mindful - A Mind-Body Programme for People With Multiple Sclerosis: a Feasibility Study Protocol
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 Jun 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this exploratory study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the "Active and Mindful" home-based mind-body exercise program for individuals diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in Portugal and Spain. Multiple Sclerosis often leads to physical and psychological challenges that impact health-related quality of life. Mind-body exercise programs combined with remote supervision present an accessible, flexible alternative to traditional center-based rehabilitation. This study assesses the practicality of implementing a 9-month online intervention delivered via video-conferencing, focusing on recruitment rates, retention, participant attendance, and overall satisfaction. Secondarily, the study explores pre-to-post changes in clinical and psychological indicators such as perceived physical exertion and health-related quality of life.
