Study Summary
This study is a unique blend of new technologies never used in combination with individuals diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The results of this research will define changes in brain activity, functional brain activation and diffusion in the brain following 6 months of structured weight resistance and balance training. Positive changes would indicate that the therapy has ignited brain plasticity and may drive the brain to repair itself. These changes to the brain may affect recovery as a result of neuroplasticity, neuroprotection, and slowing of neural degeneration. No other trials have been published evaluating brain plasticity utilizing diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) in subjects with MS undergoing physical training. DTI has demonstrated the ability to find changes (plasticity) that occur in the brain and using the MEG findings to focus the DTI analysis will optimize the capacity to detect changes secondary to therapy. This quantification will give a better understanding of the repair that goes on in the brain, and may potentially revolutionize the field of the central nervous system (CNS) rehabilitation. One of the most innovative aspects of this study is the full integration of clinical neurobehavioral metrics and functional imaging data in conjunction with a proven MS therapy along with quality of life indicators. This approach will allow new links to be illuminated as the trajectories of functional and structural brain changes (neuroplasticity) are meshed with clinical improvement indices collected visit-by-visit. This study will also compare disease modifying treatments (DMTs) and their effect(s) on indices of brain plasticity and cognitive and behavioral assessments.
