Nerve stimulation for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests a device that stimulates a nerve in the neck, which may help repair the protective coating around nerves in the brain and spinal cord. It is for people with relapsing-remitting MS who are stable on their current medication and have some vision problems due to MS.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 22 and 60 years.
- Diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) for 15 years or less.
- Vision problems in at least one eye due to MS, as shown by a special eye test (VEP).
- No MS relapses or new brain lesions in the past year.
- Taking a stable disease-modifying therapy (MS medication) for at least one year.
- Disability level between 2.5 and 6.5 on the EDSS scale (moderate disability).

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 trial studies a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment to improve memory (specifically memory recall) in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). It may help if your memory testing shows a “retrieval” problem, and if you’re able to follow the study treatment and safety requirements.
This trial tests a personalized form of electrical brain stimulation to improve cognitive problems like memory and thinking speed in people with conditions that damage the protective coating around nerves. It aims to see if this treatment can help with day-to-day thinking challenges.
This trial uses MRI scans to better understand how nerve fibers are damaged and repaired in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help researchers connect scan findings to disease activity and progression.
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.
