New test aims to measure fatigue in SMA patients
NCT ID NCT06562283
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new way to measure fatigue in people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a condition that causes muscle weakness. The test is designed to be easy enough for patients with different levels of ability. Researchers want to see if the test is safe, doable, and gives consistent results, which could help doctors monitor patients and design future clinical trials.
