MS balance breakthrough? scientists probe Spine's role
NCT ID NCT07648277
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study examines how spinal posture and movement relate to balance in 30 adults with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Researchers will measure spinal angles and mobility, then compare them with balance tests. The goal is to identify links that could inform future rehabilitation programs.

- If successful, this research could point toward better rehabilitation strategies to improve posture and balance in people with multiple sclerosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study (30 people) that only looks at relationships, not treatments. It may not lead to direct clinical changes.
