Educational Programs Based on Healthy Habits to Improve Quality of Life and Psychosocial Profile in Women With Neurodegenerative Diseases: The ADVICE Protocol Study

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2026

20 participants

Abstract

This phase of the project aims to analyze the interaction between physical exercise and the phases of the menstrual cycle, evaluating its impact on fatigue, functional capacity, and exercise perception in women with and without Multiple Sclerosis. To achieve this, a controlled, single-blind, prospective, 2x3 crossover, randomized clinical trial will be conducted, involving women with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), matched by age, lifestyle habits (smoking, physical activity), and geographic location with a group of women without MS. This study, aligned with previous findings, seeks to deepen the understanding of the role of exercise in managing Multiple Sclerosis symptoms and to promote greater adherence to personalized physical activity programs adapted to the phases of the menstrual cycle.

Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - Relapsing-remitting.

Primary outcome: Satisfaction with Physical Activity; Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS); Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS); Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS); Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS); Visual Analogue Scale (VAS-F): Fatigue subscale; Visual Analogue Scale (VAS-F): Fatigue subscale; Visual Analogue Scale (VAS-F): Fatigue subscale; Visual Analogue Scale (VAS-F): Fatigue subscale; Visual Analogue Scale (VAS-E): Energy subscale; Visual Analogue Scale (VAS-E): Energy subscale; Visual Analogue Scale (VAS-E): Energy subscale; Visual Analogue Scale (VAS-E): Energy subscale; Visual Analogue Scale (VAS-P): Pain subscale;…

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 20 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
