Exercise for Myasthenia Gravis

This study is looking at how well light versus moderate intensity exercise programs work for adults with Myasthenia Gravis (MG), a condition that causes muscle weakness. Researchers want to see if these exercise programs are practical, acceptable, and tolerable for people with MG. You could join if you are 18-80 years old, have generalized MG, and have been on stable MG medication for at least three months. The study will enroll 20 participants who will be randomly assigned to either a light or moderate intensity exercise group. The main goal is to see if these exercise programs are feasible, acceptable, and tolerable after 12 weeks.

Study design
This is an interventional study that will enroll 20 participants with Myasthenia Gravis. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a light or moderate intensity exercise group.
What's involved
You would participate in a small group exercise program three times a week for 12 weeks. The exercise program is called NeuroWell.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The main study outcomes are measured at 12 weeks, which is the end of the exercise program.

What this trial measures

  • Feasibility of light and moderate intensity exercise12 weeks

    Percent of participants recruited of potential participants contacted. Range: \[0-100\]. Higher percentage indicates higher feasibility

  • Acceptability of light and moderate intensity exercise12 weeks

    Percent of participants who complete the program of participants who start the program. Range: \[0-100\]. Higher percentage indicates higher acceptability

  • Tolerability of light and moderate intensity exercise12 weeks

    Percent of classes participants complete during the course of the program. Range: \[0-100\]. Higher percentage indicates higher tolerability.
