Acupressure for Relapsing-Remitting MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether acupressure (a gentle, non-invasive technique using pressure on specific body points) can help people with relapsing-remitting MS. It may be a good option if you have mild to moderate disability and haven't used complementary therapies before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two relaxing therapies — Reiki (a gentle hands-on energy technique) and self-acupressure (applying mild finger pressure on specific points) — for people with multiple sclerosis. It looks at how these treatments affect symptoms like anxiety, depression, and fatigue.
This study looks at “subclinical markers,” meaning early or hidden body changes that may show how relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) is doing even when symptoms seem mild. It may help researchers find better ways to monitor MS and detect changes sooner.
This study looks at whether people with relapsing-remitting MS can experience symptom flare-ups (relapses) that don't show up on MRI scans. Researchers want to understand if this happens and what it means for your care.
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 study follows adults with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis using MRI scans and blood tests. It aims to understand how the disease behaves and what markers in blood and imaging may relate to changes over time.
This study tests if a gentle hands-on treatment called craniosacral therapy can help people with multiple sclerosis feel better. It is for people with mild to moderate disability who are not having active relapses.
