Observational Study on Perceived Physical Fatigability in Nusinersen-treated SMA

This observational study aims to understand how people with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) who are treated with nusinersen experience physical fatigability (feeling tired or weak after activity). Researchers will use a special questionnaire called SMA EFFORT to measure how you feel when doing daily physical activities. They want to see how this feeling changes before and after nusinersen doses. You may be able to join if you are 12 years or older, have any type of 5qSMA, and have been receiving a stable dose of nusinersen for at least six months. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 45 participants.

  • SMA EFFORTBaseline, 1 week, 1 month

    The SMA EFFORT is a perceived physical fatigability patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) that provides a percent (PPF%) total score to each participant based on their participation over the past 30 days.
