Arm and hand exercise study for multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests a special training program for the arms and hands of people with multiple sclerosis. It aims to improve strength and function in daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), the most common type with symptom flare-ups.
- You are between 18 and 64 years old.
- Your walking is still good (Expanded Disability Status Scale or EDSS score less than 4, meaning you can walk without much help).
- You have mild to moderate trouble with your arms or hands (for example, some weakness, clumsiness, or difficulty with fine motor tasks).
- You have not had a relapse (attack) in the last three months.
- You are not currently doing regular exercise or receiving physical therapy.
- You do not have severe spasticity (tightness or stiffness) in your arms or hands (score less than 2 on a standard spasticity scale).

This study tests a type of arm exercise that uses a blood pressure cuff to limit blood flow, aiming to improve arm function in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help if you have some arm weakness but no recent relapses or blood clotting issues.
This study tests a multimodal exercise program for people with multiple sclerosis. It aims to improve mobility, strength, and overall well-being through guided exercises you can do at home.
This study looks at brain activity during task-oriented arm exercises to understand how neurorehabilitation works. It may help people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy volunteers improve motor function.
This trial tests a task-oriented training program to help improve hand and finger movement in people with multiple sclerosis.
This trial tests a home-based video game exercise program to help people with multiple sclerosis improve arm and hand function. You play games that involve moving your arm, which may help you regain strength and control.
This study tests whether a strength-training program (like lifting weights or using resistance bands) can help people with multiple sclerosis feel better and move better. It is for people who can walk on their own and have been stable (no recent relapses).
