Study Summary

This study investigates the use of aspirin as an exercise pre-treatment to reduce overheating and exhaustion, which may potentially allow many more people with multiple sclerosis to participate in and benefit from exercise. The design is double-blind, within-subject, with three arms: participants will receive one of three treatments at three separate study visits: aspirin, acetaminophen, and placebo, followed by completion of a maximal exercise test.

Primary Outcome

Duration of time exercising before reaching peak exertion, defined as cadence drop below 40 revolutions per minute (RPM) for \>/= 5 seconds, or patient reaches volitional exhaustion in accordance with American Thoracic Society standard test termination criteria.
