Electrical nerve stimulation for multiple sclerosis symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a small electrical nerve stimulator on the skin can help improve symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS), such as pain or numbness. The treatment is non-invasive and may offer a safe way to manage MS symptoms without medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it helps improve symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may offer a non-drug option to manage symptoms like fatigue, walking difficulties, or other issues.
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle electrical stimulation on the back of the neck to help improve hand and arm function for people with multiple sclerosis. It could help you regain some dexterity and control in daily tasks.
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 trial tests if gentle electrical stimulation can help improve hand and arm function in people with multiple sclerosis. You will use a small device at home with support from a caregiver.
