Exercise Training Guidelines for Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke, and Parkinson Disease: Rapid Review and Synthesis.

ABSTRACT: The translation of knowledge from exercise training research into the clinical management of multiple sclerosis, stroke, and Parkinson disease requires evidence-based guidelines that are uniformly recognizable by healthcare practitioners and patients/clients. This article synthesized resources that reported aerobic and resistance training guidelines for people with multiple sclerosis, stroke, and Parkinson disease. Systematic searches yielded 25 eligible resources from electronic databases and Web sites or textbooks of major organizations. Data were extracted (exercise frequency, intensity, time, and type) and synthesized into three sets of recommendations. Exercise guidelines for multiple sclerosis consistently recommended 2-3 d/wk of aerobic training (10-30 mins at moderate intensity) and 2-3 d/wk of resistance training (1-3 sets between 8 and 15 repetition maximum). Exercise guidelines for stroke recommended 3-5 d/wk of aerobic training (20-40 mins at moderate intensity) and 2-3 d/wk of resistance training (1-3 sets of 8-15 repetitions between 30% and 50% 1 repetition maximum). Exercise guidelines for Parkinson disease recommended 3-5 d/wk of aerobic training (20-60 mins at moderate intensity) and 2-3 d/wk of resistance training (1-3 sets of 8-12 repetitions between 40% and 50% of 1 repetition maximum). This harmonization of exercise guidelines provides a prescriptive basis for healthcare providers, exercise professionals, and people with multiple sclerosis, stroke, and Parkinson disease regarding exercise programming.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough previous studies have examined the effects of exercise training on other International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) component levels in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS), the effects of exercise training on participation remain unclear. The objectives of this review were to: (1) characterize systematically the use of outcome measures that capture participation in exercise training studies; (2) quantify the effect of exercise training on participation in persons with MS.MethodsA search of 6 electronic databases (CINAHL, SPORTDiscuss, Embase, MEDLINE, Cochrane Central, and Scopus) was conducted to identify controlled and noncontrolled trials involving exercise training and participation in persons with MS. Search strings were built from Medical Subject Headings and CINAHL headings. ICF linking rules were used to identify participation chapters and categories captured. Meta-analysis was used to quantify the effect of exercise training on participation in randomized controlled trials comparing exercise effects to no intervention/usual care.ResultsWe included 49 articles involving controlled and noncontrolled exercise trials in the systematic review of outcome measures. We captured 16 different outcome measures that captured all 9 participation chapters and identified 89 unique participation categories. Across these 16 outcome measures, mobility was the most commonly represented participation chapter, with 108 items. A subsample of 23 randomized controlled trials was included in the meta-analysis. An overall effect of 0.60 (standard error = 0.12, 95% confidence interval: 0.36-0.84, z = 4.9, p < 0.001) was calculated, indicating a moderate, positive effect of exercise training on participation.ConclusionThe current review provides information that can be used to guide the selection of outcome measures that capture participation in studies of exercise training in persons with MS. Exercise training has a positive effect on outcomes that capture participation, providing further evidence for the role of exercise training in promoting and maintaining engagement in everyday life.

Project description:BackgroundThere has been an exponential growth in the number of clinical research studies regarding exercise training in multiple sclerosis, and literature reviews and meta-analyses have documented the many benefits of exercise training. This research further requires careful review for documenting the safety of exercise training in multiple sclerosis, as clarity on safety represents a major hurdle in the clinical prescription of exercise behaviour.ObjectivesTo enhance understanding of the feasibility of exercise in multiple sclerosis, we (1) provide a protocol of a systematic review and meta-analysis that summarises rates and risks of clinical relapse, adverse events (i.e., an unfavourable outcome that occurs during the intervention delivery time period), and serious adverse events (i.e., an untoward occurrence that results in death or is life threatening, requires hospitalisation, or results in disability during the intervention delivery time period), as well as retention, adherence, and compliance, from randomised controlled trials of exercise training in persons with multiple sclerosis; and (2) identify moderators of relapse, adverse events, and serious adverse event rates.MethodsEight field-relevant databases will be searched electronically. Studies that involve a randomised controlled trial of exercise training (with non-exercise, non-pharmacological, comparator), report on safety outcomes, and include adults with multiple sclerosis will be included. Rates and relative risks of the three primary outcomes (relapse, adverse event, and serious adverse event) will be calculated and reported each with standard error and 95% confidence interval. Random-effects meta-analysis will estimate mean population relative risk for outcomes. Potential sources of variability, including participant characteristics, features of the exercise stimulus, and comparison condition, will be examined with random-effects meta-regression with maximum likelihood estimation.DiscussionThe results from this systematic review and meta-analysis will inform and guide healthcare practitioners, researchers, and policymakers on the safety of exercise training in persons with multiple sclerosis. Where possible, we will identify the impact of exercise type, exercise delivery style, participant disability level, and the prescription of exercise guidelines, on the safety of exercise training. The result will identify critical information on the safety of exercise in persons with multiple sclerosis, while also identifying gaps in research and setting priorities for future enquiries.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO 2020 CRD42020190544.

Project description:BackgroundMultiple sclerosis (MS) and stroke are two common causes of death and disability worldwide. The relationship between these two diseases remains unclear. Effective early preventative measures and treatments are available to reduce the morbidity and mortality of acute stroke. The objectives of our systematic review are to estimate the risk of stroke in patients with MS and to collate related studies to draw preliminary conclusions that may improve clinical practice.MethodRelevant studies were systematically searched in MEDLINE, Embase, the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), the China National Knowledge Infrastructure and the VIP database of Chinese periodicals from January 1983 to May 2017, with no restrictions on language. Patients included in this review were adults who suffered from MS. Review Manager 5.3 software program was used to pool data and calculate the risk ratio (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). We also performed heterogeneity and sensitivity analyses and evaluated bias in the meta-analysis.ResultsNine studies including more than 380,000 participants that met our inclusion criteria were incorporated into the meta-analysis. During different follow-up periods, patients with MS had an increased risk of any type of stroke [RR = 3.48, 95% CI (1.59, 7.64), P = 0.002 for 1 year; RR = 2.45, 95% CI (1.90, 3.16), P < 0.00001 for 10-13 years]. The total prevalence of stroke (any type) in patients with MS exceeded expectations compared to different groups [Comparing with general veteran: RR = 2, 95% CI (1.19, 3.38), P = 0.009. Comparing with general population: RR = 2.93, 95% CI (1.13, 7.62), P = 0.03]. Furthermore, ischemic stroke was particularly more common in the MS population than in people without MS [RR = 6.09, 95% CI (3.44, 10.77), P < 0.00001].ConclusionCompared with the general population, people with MS have an increased risk of developing any type of stroke and ischemic stroke in particular. Consistent results were obtained from patients of different sexes and age groups. Preventative measures and treatments should be administered at earlier time points to improve patient outcomes.

Project description:Evidence indicates that exercise holds the potential to counteract neurodegeneration experienced by persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), which is in part believed to be mediated through increases in neurotrophic factors. There is a need to summarize the existing evidence on exercise-induced effects on neurotrophic factors alongside neuroprotection in pwMS. To (1) systematically review the evidence on acute (one session) and/or chronic (several sessions) exercise-induced changes in neurotrophic factors in pwMS and (2) investigate the potential translational link between exercise-induced changes in neurotrophic factors and neuroprotection. Five databases (Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, Sport Discus) were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCT) examining the effects of exercise (all modalities included) on neurotrophic factors as well as measures of neuroprotection if reported. The quality of the study designs and the exercise interventions were assessed by use of the validated tool TESTEX. From N = 337 identified studies, N = 14 RCTs were included. While only N = 2 of the identified studies reported on the acute changes in neurotrophic factors, all N = 14 RCTs reported on the chronic effects, with N = 9 studies revealing between-group differences in favor of exercise. This was most prominent for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), with between-group differences in favor of exercise being observed in N = 6 out of N = 12 studies. Meta-analyses were applicable for three out of 10 different identified neurotrophic factors and revealed that exercise can improve the chronic levels of BDNF (delta changes; N = 9, ES = 0.78 (0.27; 1.28), p = 0.003, heterogeneity between studies) and potentially also ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) (N = 3, ES = 0.24 (-0.07; 0.54), p = 0.13, no heterogeneity between studies) but not nerve growth factor (NGF) (N = 4, ES = 0.28 (-0.55; 1.11), p = 0.51, heterogeneity between studies). Indicators of neuroprotection (e.g., with direct measures of brain structure assessed by MRI) were assessed in N = 3 of the identified studies only, with N = 2 partly supporting and thus indicating a potential translational link between increases in neurotrophic factors and neuroprotection. The present study reveals that exercise can elicit improvements in chronic levels of BDNF in pwMS, whereas the effects of exercise on chronic levels of other neurotrophic factors and on acute levels of neurotrophic factors in general, along with a potential translational link (i.e., with exercise-induced improvements in neurotropic factors being associated with or even mediating neuroprotection), are sparse and inconclusive. There is a need for more high-quality studies that assess neurotrophic factors (applying comparable methods of blood handling and analysis) concomitantly with neuroprotective outcome measures.
