Study links walking fatigue to higher fall risk in MS patients

NCT ID NCT07524556

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This observational study looks at how walking fatigability—getting tired while walking—changes the way people with multiple sclerosis walk and increases their risk of falling. Researchers will compare two groups of 62 participants: those who experience walking fatigue and those who don't. By measuring gait patterns and fall risk, the study aims to provide insights for future rehabilitation strategies.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help design better rehabilitation programs to reduce fall risk in people with multiple sclerosis.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve health. Results may not apply to all MS patients, and the small size limits general conclusions.

Who is studied

Sixty-two RRMS will be recruited in this study from multiple sclerosis specialized clinic in the Neurology department, Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University. The patients will be diagnosed and referred to by a neurologist participants aged from 20 to 40 years with a confirmed diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (based on McDonald criteria). Ambulatory for at least 6 minutes, without the use of assistive devices.EDSS score between 2.0 and 5.0.no relapse within 1 month prior to participation

Inclusion Criteria: * Sixty-two RRMS patients from both sexes. * Aged from 20 to 40 years with a confirmed diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (based on McDonald criteria). * Ambulatory for at least 6 minutes, without the use of assistive devices. * EDSS score between 2.0 and 5.0. * no relapse within 1 month prior to participation Exclusion Criteria: * The presence of other neurological or orthopaedic conditions that could affect gait or balance. * Severe cognitive impairment (as determined by clinical history or physician report). * Active MS relapses or corticosteroid treatment within the last 30 days. * Visual or vestibular impairments that significantly interfere with gait or postural control. * Diabetic patients will be excluded as this will interfere with balance.
