New study aims to measure fatigue in SMA patients on nusinersen
NCT ID NCT06955897
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how tired people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) feel during daily activities while taking the drug nusinersen. Researchers will use a new questionnaire called the SMA EFFORT to measure this fatigue. The goal is to better understand fatigue in SMA and see if it changes before and after nusinersen doses. About 45 adolescents and adults who have been on stable nusinersen for at least 6 months will take part.
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 successful, this study could provide a better way to measure fatigue in SMA patients, helping doctors tailor treatments and improve quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to all SMA patients. The new measurement tool may not capture fatigue accurately.
