Summary

This study is prospective, randomized controlled trail that will be conducted to investigate the effect of cooling therapy on fatigue and gait in patient with multiple sclerosis(MS).

Detailed description

Thirty patients from both sexes will be enrolled in this study. They will be assigned into two equal groups (study and control groups). Patients will be diagnosed as MS patients based on careful clinical evaluation by the neurologist and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. The patients will be recruited from the faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University, and El Kasr El Ainy hospitals.

Conditions

• Multiple Sclerosis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	cooling vest	Cooling vest : It is one of cooling methods proposed to improve exercise performance in MS by reducing one's core and/or skin temperature before taking on physical work
OTHER	Aerobic exercises	aerobic exercise as any activity that uses large muscle groups, can be maintained continuously and is rhythmic in nature. As the name implies, muscle groups activated by this type of exercise rely on aerobic metabolism to extract energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from amino acids, carbohydrates and fatty acids. Examples of aerobic exercise include cycling, dancing, hiking, jogging/long distance running, swimming and walking
