Interventions and main relevant findings for studies involving patients with multiple sclerosis.

Author Brief Intervention Description Main Relevant Findings
Baird, 2020 [21] Behavioral intervention delivered in two phases over six weeks per phase. Phase one focused on sitting less; phase two focused on moving more. The intervention was safe and feasible; there was a small positive change in sedentary behavior.
Cascione, 2018 [22] Injectable versus oral disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) At 48 weeks, there was higher adherence among those taking oral versus injectable DMTs.
Hartung, 2020 [23] Low-income subsidy for Medicare beneficiaries newly diagnosed with MS Across demographics, those who received a low-income subsidy were more likely to initiate early self-administered DMT than those who did not have a low-income subsidy.
Kinnett-Hopkins, 2018 [24] Racially tailored exercise program for black persons with MS consisting of strength and aerobic activities, behavioral coaching materials, and supplemental content based on social cognitive theory The intervention was feasible, effective, and safe; exercise behaviors increased in inactive participants.
Plow, 2019 [25] A physical activity intervention versus a physical activity intervention plus a fatigue self-management intervention. Fatigue management improved fatigue and quality of life at 12 weeks compared with social support, but not physical activity. Physical activity improved on quality of life compared with social support at 12 weeks.
