BACKGROUND
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease influenced by environmental factors.
OBJECTIVES
The feasibility of a multimodal intervention and its effect on perceived fatigue in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis were assessed.
DESIGN/SETTING
This was a single-arm, open-label intervention study in an outpatient setting.
INTERVENTIONS
A multimodal intervention including a modified paleolithic diet with supplements, stretching, strengthening exercises with…

A modified Paleolithic diet, exercise, EStim, and stress management intervention like this one has the potential to improve the mood and cognitive symptoms that can lead to considerable suffering in people with MS, potentially improving quality of life and function for people with progressive MS.

The effect of exercise therapy on fatigue in multiple sclerosis
- Medicine, PsychologyMultiple sclerosis
- 2011
Exercise therapy has the potential to induce a positive effect on MS fatigue, but findings are heterogeneous probably because many studies have applied non-fatigued study populations, emphasizing the need for future studies within this field.
Long–term exercise improves functional impairment but not quality of life in multiple sclerosis
- Psychology, MedicineJournal of Neurology

MSFC is more sensitive than EDSS in the detection of improvement in functional impairment as a result of regular exercise, and the unfavourable results from HRQOL do not rule out the possibility that other types of exercise programs may improve it in MS.

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measures the broader impact of MS and might indicate less obvious disease burdens and physical disability (EDSS and Arm Index), disease progression and fatigue strongly influenced this.

Effectiveness of both pharmacological and psychosocial/psychological interventions for fatigue in MS was modest at best and often absent, and there is little evidence-based advice that can be offered to people with MS to help manage their fatigue.

Interferon β for secondary progressive multiple sclerosis: a systematic review
- Medicine, PsychologyJournal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry

3 year treatment with IFN β does not delay permanent disability in SPMS but reduces relapse risk, indicating that the anti-inflammatory effect of IFNβ is unable to prevent MS progression once it has become established.

Results show that IFNs' anti-inflammatory effect is unable to retard progression, when established, and no new RCTs for IFNs versus placebo in SPMS will probably be undertaken, because research is now focusing on innovative drugs.
