Exercise and Brain Health in MS

Summary

Physical activity is now recognized as a therapy for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) that not only improves physical fitness and functional mobility, but there is some evidence that it may also positively influence the more invisible symptoms of the disease that represent "brain health" - fatigue, depression and cognitive impairment. One important feature of physical activity is that it reduces inflammation throughout the body and the brain. The goal of this research is to determine whether people with MS feel less fatigue, depression and cognitive impairment after a program of exercise because there is a decrease in the state of inflammation in the brain.
