Arm exercise with blood flow cuffs for MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had multiple sclerosis for more than 2 years.
- Your disability level is between 2.0 and 7.0 on the EDSS scale (mild to moderate disability).
- Your arm muscle tone is not too high (score 2 or less on the modified Ashworth scale).
- You can understand and follow instructions (no significant memory or thinking problems).

This trial tests if mixed reality (a blend of real and virtual environments) can improve arm and hand function in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help you move your arm better and with less stiffness.
This study tests a fun, video-game-like exercise program you can do at home to improve arm and hand strength and coordination. It's designed for people with multiple sclerosis who have some arm weakness but can still move around a bit.
This trial tests a special exercise program for the arms and hands in people with multiple sclerosis. The goal is to see if these exercises improve strength, coordination, and daily function.
This trial tests whether a special exercise method that briefly limits blood flow to the legs can improve strength and walking ability in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). If you have walking limitations, it may help you build fitness with less heavy resistance training—but you must be able to safely use a pressure cuff during testing.
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 study tests if exercise can improve blood vessel health and daily function in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who also have high blood pressure. It may help you move better and feel better.
