An observational study in Multiple Sclerosis, sponsored by Salzburger Landeskliniken. Completed at 1 site in Austria. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-22.
Sponsored by Salzburger Landeskliniken · Observational
Multiple sclerosis (MS) as leading cause of non-traumatic neurological disability in young adults has additionally to the individual's burden of disease a significant influence on their ability to work.
Objective of this study is to test parameters for their correlation with weekly working hours.
We will retrospectively analyse data of people with MS (pwMS) and correlate weekly working hours with demographics, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Nine Hole Peg Test (9HPT), walking speed measured by Timed 25-Foot Walk test (T25FW), Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) and Hand Grip Strength (HGS).
3,524 studies on the registry are indexed under Multiple Sclerosis; 668 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 300 is above the median of 100 across 1,034 observational studies indexed under Multiple Sclerosis.

This cross-sectional study analyse data from MS patients using the McDonald criteria of 2024 at the MS outpatient clinic in Salzburg, Austria between February 2024 until June 2026. Measurements included the 9HPT, T25FW, HGS and SDMT at least once during the study period as part of their routine examinations
Exclusion Criteria:
-
The HGS test is a measure of upper extremity muscle strength and muscle function (17). The test was performed in seated position with lower extremities on the ground and with the elbow angle of 90 degrees. Saehan dynamometer with string mechanism and scale displaying the measured value in kilograms (kg) was used. Participants were asked to press the dynamometer as strong as possible, three times with each hand, and the highest result in each hand was recorded and subsequently the average of both hands was calculated.

Correlation of Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Nine Hole Peg Test (9HPT), walking speed measured by Timed 25-Foot Walk test (T25FW), Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) and Hand Grip Strength (HGS) with weekly working hours
