Spinal cord stimulation for hand function in MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spinal cord can help improve hand and arm function in people with MS. If you have MS and difficulty using your hands, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS).
- You are between 21 and 70 years old.

- You can come to the study center 3 times per week for treatment and assessments.
- If you could become pregnant, you agree to take a home pregnancy test before starting the study and before each treatment period.

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.
This study tests whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve hand and arm function in people with multiple sclerosis. If you have trouble using your hands due to MS, this treatment might help you regain some movement.
This trial investigates whether combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with functional electrical stimulation (FES) can improve hand movement and coordination in people with multiple sclerosis. The goal is to help you better perform everyday tasks that require fine hand skills.
This study tests if vagus nerve stimulation (a mild electrical pulse on the ear) combined with hand exercises can help repair the protective coating of your nerves and improve hand function in multiple sclerosis.
This study tests whether non-invasive brain and spinal cord stimulation can help improve arm and hand function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It involves training exercises combined with stimulation to see if this approach can strengthen your arms and hands.
This study tests a non-invasive electrical stimulation treatment meant to help people regain hand and arm movement after a stroke. You would attend frequent therapy-style sessions, and the team would track your arm function over about eight months.
