Wearable robotic exoskeleton to improve walking and thinking in MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a wearable robotic exoskeleton to help people with multiple sclerosis walk better and improve thinking/problem-solving. You would use the device during supervised sessions and take brief thinking and movement checks to see if it’s safe and helpful for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS).
- Your MS affects walking moderately to severely, but you can still walk using the exoskeleton (possibly with a cane, walker, or similar help).
- You have some difficulty with thinking and problem solving, based on a special screening test.
- You’re 18 to 75 years old, and your symptoms have been stable (no flare-ups) for at least 1 month.
- You can safely stand upright for 30 minutes with help if needed, and you can fit the device (height 60–76 inches, weight under 220 lbs).
- You agree to follow study steps and keep certain spasticity medicine stable (such as baclofen) during the study.

This study tests a wearable robotic leg brace that helps people with leg weakness practice walking. It aims to see if using the robot improves strength and movement for people recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, or joint replacement surgery.
This trial tests whether combining virtual reality exercises with a leg brace can help people with multiple sclerosis improve their walking and balance. If you have mild to moderate disability and can use the Exoband brace, you may be eligible.
This trial tests a walking device called an exoskeleton to help people with leg weakness or movement problems. It's designed to see if using the exoskeleton regularly over time can help improve walking or mobility.
This study tests if a robotic exoskeleton can help people who have had a stroke walk again. You must be between 3 and 8 months post-stroke, able to walk with a cane or walker, and fit certain physical requirements.
This trial tests a soft robotic suit (WIM Exosuit) to help people walk better. It may be an option if you have had a stroke, have Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis, or are an older adult without a neurological condition.
This study tests whether walking with a robotic exoskeleton (a device that helps support and move the legs) can improve responsiveness in people with disorders of consciousness. Participation involves using the device during rehabilitation in the hospital.
