About this trial
In the sponsor's words
Background and study aims Yoga originated in the territory of modern India more than 3000 years ago and uses techniques for working with the musculoskeletal system, cardiorespiratory system and attention. Currently, the effectiveness and safety of yoga in patients with various neurological disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS), is of interest to many scientists and clinicians. The main aim of this study is to examine the effect of yoga on symptoms and quality of life in patients with MS versus physical therapy (exercise therapy) and no exercise. Who can participate? Patients aged 18 and over with MS in remission phase What does the study involve? Participants are randomly allocated to yoga, physical therapy, or no exercise. Qualified instructors will teach yoga and exercise therapy. Yoga classes will be held at yoga practice centers. Exercise therapy classes will be held at the research center. The training program is tailored specifically for MS patients. MS treatment will continue as part of routine practice, as prescribed by the treating neurologist. In the event of an exacerbation of MS or other safety-related reasons (for example, side effects of exercise), the patient will be excluded from the study. Data collection will take place during the patient's two visits to the study center - before the start of the study and at the end of the 12-week period. What are the possible benefits and risks of participating? The main benefit for the patient is to be involved in a 12-week structured outpatient exercise programme that is otherwise not a part of routine care. The study doesn't have any additional risks for the patient, except those related to the physical activities during classes (i.e. exertion). Where is the study run from? 1. The April Rehabilitation Center (Russia) 2. V.M. Buyanov's Hospital (Russia) When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for? March 2018 to May 2020 Who is funding the study? Federation “Yoga Practika” (Russia) Who is the main contact? Lev Brylev lbrylev@aprel-clinic.ru
