Imagine your brain is a city, and the thalamus is the central hub. Unfortunately, in some individuals with multiple sclerosis, this important hub starts to shrink, causing problems with movement and cognition. But fear not! New research suggests that aerobic exercise training may be the key to restoring function in these individuals. Just like how a construction crew can repair a damaged road, exercise can help repair the damage in the thalamus. The study emphasizes the need for more randomized controlled trials to further investigate the benefits of aerobic exercise in this specific subgroup. So, if you or someone you know has multiple sclerosis-related thalamic atrophy, consider lacing up those sneakers and hitting the gym! Who knows, it might just be the start of a path to improved function and well-being. Want to learn more about this fascinating research? Check out the full article linked below!
New findings support the need to develop randomized controlled trials of aerobic exercise training in the subgroup presenting with biomarker of thalamic atrophy.
