Abstract
The Behavioral Intervention for Physical Activity in Multiple Sclerosis-Cognition (BIPAMS-Cognition) study examines the effectiveness of internet-delivered programs for lifestyle behavior change among persons with MS who have cognitive processing speed (CPS) impairment. We believe this study may identify accessible and translatable approaches for improving CPS among persons with MS. The BIPAMS-Cognition study consists of two different internet-delivered approaches for lifestyle behavior change for managing the consequences of MS and improving health indicators. • One program will focus on promoting physical activity, whereas the other program will focus on overall health and wellness in MS. • Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two programs. • This study consists of two phases over a 12-month period.
