What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is observing 40 adults with multiple sclerosis to see how clinical tests of balance and walking relate to detailed motion-capture measurements. Participants will attend one session where they walk on force plates and perform balance tasks while cameras track their movements. The goal is to find which biomechanical factors are most linked to real-world balance and fall risk.

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 identify which biomechanical measures best predict fall risk and mobility decline in MS, guiding future rehabilitation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study with only 40 participants, so findings may not apply to all people with MS. It does not test any treatment.

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population will consist of adults with a confirmed diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) who are able to walk independently and safely participate in balance and gait assessment procedures. Participants will be recruited from two patient organizations in Western Greece: the "Friends and Persons with Multiple Sclerosis Association" of Northwestern Greece and the Hellenic Multiple Sclerosis Society of Western Greece.

Ages

18 years and older

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults (≥ 18 years) with confirmed diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis * Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score \<6 * Ability to ambulate independently without the use of assistive devices * Absence of significant orthopedic or neurological conditions affecting mobility * Ability to understand and follow verbal instructions. Exclusion Criteria: * History of injury or surgical intervention to the lower limbs or spine within the past year * Any musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular, or other medical condition, other than Multiple Sclerosis, that may significantly affect gait or balance or compromise participant safety during testing. * Severe balance impairment or high risk of falling that prevents safe participation in single-leg stance, gait analysis, or obstacle negotiation tasks.
