MS-BFR Fatigue Study

Please Note: Recruitment for the control group (the group without MS) is currently closed. Please apply only if you have multiple sclerosis and will participate in the MS group.

The research study will assess how people with multiple sclerosis (MS) fatigue compared to people without MS. Additionally, we are assessing fatigue after exercise programs that include blood flow restriction, a new method designed to improve the quality of the exercise. This study will include a group of participants with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and a group without.
