Contribute to research that examines physical activity and exercise in people with multiple sclerosis! The results of this research will help inform future physical activity interventions to improve outcomes and quality of life in people with MS. The Exercise Neuroscience Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois Chicago is actively recruiting for the remote/virtual studies listed below. Please contact ENRL@uic.edu or (312) 413-4967 with any questions.

Knowledge and perceptions of exercise training among people living with multiple sclerosis 

This study aims to assess the knowledge and perceptions of exercise training and its prescriptive guidelines among people living with MS. Participants will complete one online survey that takes about 10-15 minutes.

Race, Ethnicity and Active Lifestyle in Multiple Sclerosis (REAL MS)

This study investigates health behaviors and outcomes in MS as a function of race and ethnicity. Participation includes completing assessments via Zoom meeting and surveys.

Behavioral Intervention for Physical Activity in Multiple Sclerosis – Cognition (BIPAMS-C)

This study tests the benefits of two Internet-delivered programs among persons with MS who have slowed cognitive processing speed (i.e. learning and memory issues). Participants will engage in a remote 6-month program and meet one-on-one with a behavioral coach.

Physical Activity in Women with Multiple Sclerosis and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (PAW-MS-GAD)

This study compares the levels of physical activity among women with MS with and without generalized anxiety disorder. Participants will complete a short series of surveys and wear a physical activity monitor for seven days.
