NCT ID NCT07012135
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study from Mayo Clinic looks at how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects the autonomic nervous system, which controls things like blood pressure, skin blood flow, and bladder health. Researchers will compare 13 people with MS to healthy volunteers using simple lab tests. The goal is to better understand these problems and help doctors manage them in the future.
