The trial to
determine if exercise has any beneficial or harmful effect for those of us with
Kennedy’s Disease was published in Annals of Clinical and Translational
Neurology.
Objective: To determine the
safety and efficacy of a home-based functional exercise program in spinal and
bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA).
Kenneth Fischbeck, MD, Christopher
Grunseich, MD, and Angela Kokkinis, BSN, RN of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) added the following comments to the
report:
“The trial did not show a statistically
significant change in the primary outcome measure, the AMAT, overall.
However, a subgroup analysis done after the study did indicate that
low-functioning men with SBMA may respond better to functional exercise. We also
found that functional exercise is safe and well tolerated.”
