First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how natural hormone changes during the menstrual cycle impact brain-to-muscle communication, learning new motor skills, and fatigue in women with multiple sclerosis. Researchers will measure these factors at different cycle phases in 14 participants. The goal is to understand if certain phases are better for rehabilitation, potentially leading to more personalized therapy timing.
