About this study

Official title: Validation Study of the French Adaptation of the MSWDQ-23 Questionnaire, a Tool Assessing the Work Difficulties of Patients With Multiple Sclerosis.

MS is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that affects more than 120,000 people in France. The average age of onset of the disease is between 25 and 35 years. Given the wide range of ages of the patients, from 4 to 80 years, the ethical and socio-economic stakes are high in order to maintain their autonomy, sociability, family and intimate life, and their employment in the best possible conditions and for as long as possible.

However, to date, there are no evaluation tools in French that allow us to understand the difficulties at work of MS patients.

The Multiple Sclerosis Work Difficulties Questionnaire (MSWDQ-23) was developed specifically for MS patients and validated in English [1]. There is a short version of this questionnaire that facilitates its use in clinical practice [2]. It has been translated and validated in Spanish through a multicenter study, and is currently being validated in German, but does not currently exist in French [3]. The main objective of the WORKSEP project is to validate the French version of this questionnaire through a multicenter population-based cohort within the framework of the French-speaking Multiple Sclerosis Society (SFSEP). This validation study will involve the inclusion of 206 French-speaking MS patients, regardless of their professional status, all forms of MS combined, from the early stage (Clinically Isolated Syndrome) to the more advanced stages (primary and secondary progressive forms).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Sclerosis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 16 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MSWDQ-23 score (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Feb 2024.
