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… Expand

Multimodal intervention improves fatigue and quality of life in subjects with progressive multiple sclerosis: a pilot study
TLDR
A multimodal intervention including a modified Paleolithic diet, nutritional supplements, stretching, strengthening exercises with electrical stimulation of trunk and lower limb muscles, and stress management on perceived fatigue and quality of life of persons with progressive MS may reduce fatigue and improvequality of life. Expand
Effects of a multimodal intervention on gait and balance of subjects with progressive multiple sclerosis: a prospective longitudinal pilot study
TLDR
A multimodal lifestyle intervention may improve walking performance and balance in subjects with progressive MS who have mild-to-moderate gait impairment, whereas subjects with severe gait impairments may not respond to this intervention. Expand
A Multimodal, Nonpharmacologic Intervention Improves Mood and Cognitive Function in People with Multiple Sclerosis
TLDR
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. Expand
Randomized control trial evaluation of a modified Paleolithic dietary intervention in the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: a pilot study
TLDR
A Paleolithic diet may be useful in the treatment and management of MS, by reducing perceived fatigue, increasing mental and physical quality of life, increasing exercise capacity, and improving hand and leg function. Expand
Exploring Wellness Interventions in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis: an Evidence-Based Review
TLDR
There is level C evidence (possibly effective; one class II study) for the efficacy of aerobic exercise training on cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with progressive MS. Expand
Anti-inflammatory nutritional intervention in patients with relapsing-remitting and primary-progressive multiple sclerosis: A pilot study
TLDR
This study indicates that a healthy nutritional intervention is well accepted by people with multiple sclerosis and may ameliorate their physical and inflammatory status. Expand
Dietary approaches to treat MS-related fatigue: comparing the modified Paleolithic (Wahls Elimination) and low saturated fat (Swank) diets on perceived fatigue in persons with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
TLDR
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of a modified Paleolithic and low saturated fat diet on perceived fatigue, cognitive and motor symptoms, and quality of life in persons with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Expand
Lipid profile is associated with decreased fatigue in individuals with progressive multiple sclerosis following a diet-based intervention: Results from a pilot study
TLDR
Lipid profile variables are associated with improvements in fatigue in progressive MS patients on a diet-based multimodal intervention. Expand
Wellness and the Role of Comorbidities in Multiple Sclerosis
TLDR
There is evidence to suggest a potential role for vitamin D supplementation, tobacco smoking cessation, routine exercise, a plant-based, anti-inflammatory diet, and maintenance of emotional well-being as adjunct therapies to DMTs. Expand
The Efficacy of Psychological Interventions for Managing Fatigue in People With Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
TLDR
This study found that the use of psychological interventions for MS-related fatigue management reduced fatigue in PwMS. Expand

A randomized pilot study of naturopathic medicine in multiple sclerosis.
TLDR
Evaluated naturopathic medicine combined with usual care for MS showed a trend in improvement in the General Health subscale of the SF-36, Timed Walk, and neurologic impairment, which warrants further investigation. Expand
The effect of exercise therapy on fatigue in multiple sclerosis
TLDR
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. Expand
Long–term exercise improves functional impairment but not quality of life in multiple sclerosis
TLDR
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. Expand
Comparison of the effects of acetyl l-carnitine and amantadine for the treatment of fatigue in multiple sclerosis: results of a pilot, randomised, double-blind, crossover trial
TLDR
The results of this study show that ALCAR is better tolerated and more effective than amantadine for the treatment of MS-related fatigue. Expand
Health-related quality of life in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis
TLDR
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. Expand
Treatment of fatigue in multiple sclerosis: a systematic review of the literature.
TLDR
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. Expand
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation and dietary interventions to reduce oxidative stress in a secondary progressive multiple sclerosis patient leads to marked gains in function: a case report
TLDR
After 8 months of neuromuscular electrical stimulation the patient's function had improved sufficiently that she no longer used a scooter or cane and rode her bicycle routinely 8 miles, including hills. Expand
Rehabilitation with neuromuscular electrical stimulation leads to functional gains in ambulation in patients with secondary progressive and primary progressive multiple sclerosis: a case series report.
TLDR
NMES, an approved Food and Drug Administration treatment modality for muscle spasm, muscle pain, and disuse atrophy-all of which are commonly present in patients with gait disability associated with SPMS and PPMS-was associated with measurable gains in ambulatory function. Expand
Health-related quality of life outcomes at 1 and 5 years after a residential retreat promoting lifestyle modification for people with multiple sclerosis
TLDR
Attendance at a retreat promoting lifestyle modification for the integrated management of MS appears to have positive effects on short and medium-term health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Expand
Interferon β for secondary progressive multiple sclerosis: a systematic review
TLDR
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. Expand
