This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises can help people with advanced multiple sclerosis improve their movement and walking. You may qualify if you need two walking aids and your MS has been stable for the last six months.
This trial tests whether daily use of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) can improve real-world walking and daily activities for people with multiple sclerosis. FES uses small electrical pulses to help weak leg muscles move.
This study tests whether combining physical and mental exercises can improve walking and thinking for people with multiple sclerosis. It may help if you have mild disability and haven't had a recent relapse.
This trial tests a comprehensive rehabilitation programme for people with multiple sclerosis to see if it can improve their physical abilities and quality of life. Participants will attend regular physiotherapy sessions and undergo clinical and MRI examinations to track changes.
This trial tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning — using brief cycles of a blood pressure cuff on your arm — can improve walking and slow disability in people with primary progressive MS. It targets people with moderate disability who have trouble walking.
This trial tests a guided exercise program for people with advanced multiple sclerosis to see if it improves their daily life. You may benefit from getting structured, safe physical activity to help with mobility and well-being.
