Acupressure for people with multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether acupressure, a gentle pressure therapy using fingers on specific body points, can help people with relapsing-remitting MS. If you qualify, you might gain relief from MS symptoms in a non-invasive way.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) from a neurologist.
- Your MS type is relapsing-remitting (RRMS).
- You have had MS for at least one year.
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your disability level is mild to moderate (EDSS score between 0 and 5).
- You have not used steroids for at least 3 months, have not had an MS relapse in the last 3 months, and have not used acupressure or other complementary therapies before.

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 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 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 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 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 two non-invasive treatments—magnetic pulses to the brain and mild electrical stimulation to arm muscles—to see if they can improve hand movement and daily tasks in people with multiple sclerosis. Participation may help you use your hands more easily.
