Summary

This trial looks at whether an internet-delivered physical activity intervention can help improve sexual dysfunction in women with MS.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18-45 with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and sexual dysfunction, who are in a committed relationship. Participants must be able to walk without help, have low physical activity levels, internet access, speak English, and not be at risk of injury from exercise.
What is being tested?
The study tests an online program promoting physical activity (BIPAMS) to improve sexual dysfunction in women with MS. It explores if regular exercise can enhance well-being and quality of life by managing symptoms related to sexual health.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves lifestyle changes rather than medication, side effects may include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness or fatigue but no pharmacological side effects.
