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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests three versions of a dual-task walking test in people with multiple sclerosis. The test combines the standard Timed Up and Go, where a person stands, walks three meters, turns, and sits, with a second task like counting backward, naming words, or carrying a ball on a tray. Researchers want to see which version is most reliable and valid for measuring dual-task performance, which relates to fall risk. The study includes 40 adults with MS who do not need walking aids.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Three dual-task Timed Up and Go (DTUG) protocols: counting backward, verbal fluency, and carrying a ball on a tray, each combined with the standard Timed Up and Go test.
What this could lead to
If one protocol proves reliable and valid, it could become a standard tool for assessing fall risk and dual-task performance in people with multiple sclerosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage measurement study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not apply to people with more severe disability or to other settings.
