TENS to reduce fatigue in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether TENS, a non-drug device that delivers mild electrical signals through the skin, can reduce fatigue in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). It also includes an exercise-training portion and checks safety and comfort during the program.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS)
- You have trouble walking that you’ve noticed yourself
- You take stable MS symptom medicines such as Ampyra, provigil, or similar, and you haven’t had an MS relapse in the last 30 days
- You can attend exercise sessions 3 days per week for 6 weeks and get to the Boulder campus
- You do NOT have certain safety issues (uncorrected vision/hearing problems, metal implants, seizure history, uncontrolled blood pressure, diabetes, or trouble feeling touch/temperature/pain)

This trial tests if a mild, noninvasive nerve stimulation device (TENS) can improve symptoms like pain or muscle tightness in people with multiple sclerosis. It looks at how the treatment affects your nerves and daily function.
This study tests whether doing exercises at home combined with a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (gentle electrical stimulation on your scalp) can reduce the exhaustion and tiredness that comes with multiple sclerosis. The goal is to see if this combination helps you feel less fatigued and improves your ability to stay active.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can help people with multiple sclerosis who have leg stiffness and weakness. You will receive daily sessions over two weeks to see if it improves walking and quality of life.
This study uses a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can reduce fatigue in people with relapsing-remitting MS. It compares people with and without fatigue to understand how the brain is affected.
This study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)—a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain—can help treat depression in people with multiple sclerosis who haven't benefited enough from antidepressants or therapy. The goal is to see if TMS is safe and effective for this specific group.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can help people with multiple sclerosis. It involves brain stimulation sessions and MRI scans to see if the treatment improves symptoms or brain function.
