First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study looks at how sleep quality influences cognitive flexibility, physical activity, body awareness, and reaction time in people with multiple sclerosis. Researchers will compare those with good and poor sleep using questionnaires, computer tests, and a wearable activity tracker worn for 7 days. The goal is to understand whether sleep plays a role in daily function for people with MS.
