Effects of Physical Therapy and Dalfampridine on Function and Quality of Life in Nonambulatory Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

"To our knowledge, there is no study that has determined the minimal clinically important difference ( #MCID) of functional outcome measures in #nonambulatory people with" #MultipleSclerosis.

Functional Tests Can Aid in Interpreting Cognitive Changes in Huntington Disease Using common HD functional tests as anchors can help researchers determine when changes on cognitive measures are clinically significant.

Using functional capacity measures as anchors can help researchers determine the minimal clinically important difference (#MCID)—a measure of benefit used in clinical trials—for common cognitive tests in #HuntingtonDisease (HD).

JAMA Touts Long COVID Exercise Trial with Clinically Insignificant Results; Most LC Exercise Trials Ignore PEM, Per Sick Times In its current “Medical News in Brief” section, JAMA is touting and amplifying the questionable claims of a flawed trial to treat or prevent Long COVID published by one of the journals under its umbrella—JAMANetworkOpen. The JAMA headline: “Resistance Training Improves Long COVID Outcomes.” Technically, the headline is true. In the trial, participants who received […]

Another Exercise Trial with Clinically Insignificant Findings A recent study from JAMA Network Open, called “Resistance Exercise Therapy After COVID-19 Infection: A Randomized Clinical Trial,” demonstrates some of the flaws that so often mar papers in this field of research. The trial’s reported results do not warrant the optimistic conclusion that the intervention “may be a generalizable therapy for individuals with persisting […]
