Could poor balance be the hidden link between MS fatigue and fear of falling?
NCT ID NCT07680049
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026
Summary
This study investigates whether balance problems explain why fatigue leads to a greater fear of falling in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers will assess fatigue, balance, and fear of falling in 40 adults with MS who can walk independently or with a device. The goal is to understand the relationship between these common issues, which could guide future therapies to improve quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If the study finds that balance problems explain the link between fatigue and fear of falling, it could point toward balance-focused therapies to reduce fear of falling in MS.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study that looks for patterns, not a treatment trial. It cannot prove cause and effect, and results may not apply to all people with MS.
