About this trial

In the sponsor's words

In this study the investigators will evaluate the effects of yoga practice on multiple sclerosis patients and healthy controls for fatigue, quality of life, movement, cognition, brain activity, self-efficacy, stress, anxiety, depression, affective states and immunological response. To investigate the effects of yoga training delivered by a yoga instructor or through a smartphone application, the investigators will use a multidimensional approach that comprises of: evaluation of neuropsychological, quality of life and affective aspects, structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging, functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) combined with movement analysis (gait, strength, balance etc.) and analysis of the immune response.
