MS and Muscle Strength in Breathing and Legs
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how MS affects the strength of your breathing muscles and leg muscles. If you join, you will have tests to measure your muscle strength, walking ability, and fatigue. This may help doctors understand how to better treat MS-related weakness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) by a doctor.
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have not had an MS attack or relapse in the last 6 months.
- Your MS is mild to moderate, meaning you can still walk (EDSS score of 4.5 or less).
- You have not had leg surgery, physiotherapy, or certain treatments (like steroids) in the last 6 months.
