NCT ID NCT05789225
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a digital group program called 'Fewer Falls in MS' for people with multiple sclerosis who had fallen in the past year. 240 participants either joined the 8-session online program or received a brochure. Researchers tracked falls and other outcomes over 12 months to see if the program helps reduce falls and improve confidence.

- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could help people with MS reduce their risk of falling and feel more in control of their safety.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed trial, but results are not yet widely confirmed. The program is online and group-based, so individual results may vary.
