Trial Outcomes & Findings for Activity and Balanced Eating to Reduce Comorbidities and Symptoms of MS (NCT NCT03808545)

NCT ID: NCT03808545

Last Updated: 2022-11-18

Results Overview

BMI will be calculated using the formula weight/height2 (kg/m\^2). Height will be measured with participants standing against the wall. Weight will be assessed using a digital scale. BMI change will be calculated the difference between 16 week BMI and baseline BMI.

BIPAMS
All participants will receive the standard BIPAMS intervention for the first 8 weeks of the trial.Those in the BIPAMS group will continue receiving the established BIPAMS intervention for the remainder of the trial. Behavioral Intervention for Physical Activity in Multiple Sclerosis (BIPAMS): This is a newly developed Internet website that delivered a Social Cognitive Theory-based behavioral intervention using e-learning and one-on-one video chats approaches for increasing physical activity and improving symptoms, walking impairment, and neurological disability. The intervention will last 16 weeks and will include physical activity information.
BIPAMS + Diet
All participants will receive the standard BIPAMS intervention for the first 8 weeks of the trial.Those in the BIPAMS+Diet arm will begin receiving dietary materials in week 9. BIPAMS + Diet: For 8 weeks a participant will complete the standard BIPAMS intervention. For the subsequent 8 weeks, in addition to the BIPAMS website, participants will receive a diet prescription with instructions and guidance on their one-on-one video calls and will utilize the HealthWatch360 app and/or desktop website to track their dietary intake. The total intervention will last 16 weeks and will include physical activity information and dietary information.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 16 weeks

Population: Study completers

Waist circumference will be measured twice at the level of the umbilicus after normal expiration, with the participant standing. If the two values differ by \>1 cm, a third measurement will be taken and the results of the two or three trials averaged. Waist circumference change will be calculated as the difference between 16 week waist circumference and baseline waist circumference.
