Study of muscle loss in people with multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how common muscle loss and weakness are in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) at different stages of the disease. It also checks how muscle loss relates to everyday function. The goal is to better understand these issues to improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) by a doctor.
- You can understand and follow study instructions (no severe memory or thinking problems).
- Your MS is not too advanced (you can walk, possibly with help).
- You have not had recent surgery or Botox injections in the last 3 months, and you do not have severe pain or other major health issues that could affect the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with multiple sclerosis. It aims to understand what factors are linked to muscle loss, which could help improve care.
This study looks at how common muscle loss (sarcopenia) is in older people with long-standing type 2 diabetes. It aims to find out if there is a link so that doctors can spot muscle problems earlier and help patients stay stronger.
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.
This study looks at muscle changes in people with or at risk for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to find better ways to detect and manage sarcopenia using simple tests like muscle strength and body composition measurements.
This study looks at how loss of muscle strength or mass (sarcopenia) relates to advanced liver disease. It may help doctors understand which patients are at higher risk and could guide future care choices.
This study looks at how nutritional status and muscle function relate to each other in people with multiple sclerosis who have difficulty swallowing. Understanding this connection may help doctors better support patients with MS who struggle with eating and drinking.
