Treadmill training plus brain stimulation for multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial combines treadmill training with a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) to see if it can help people with Multiple Sclerosis walk better. The study is for people with stable MS and mild to moderate disability.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) from a neurologist.
- Your MS symptoms should be stable, with no major changes in the last three months.
- Your disability level should fall between 1 and 6 on a standard scale (EDSS). Lower numbers mean less disability, higher numbers more.
- You cannot have metal objects in your head, an implanted electronic device (like a pacemaker), uncontrolled epilepsy, or a psychiatric disorder.
- You must not have had osteoporotic fractures in the last 2 years, or have any skin ulcers where a harness would be worn.
- Your height must be 190 cm or less, and your weight 120 kg or less.

This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation, combined with stepping exercises, can help improve walking and thinking in older adults with mild dementia. If you qualify, you may receive this combination therapy for free and help us learn if it works.
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help reduce fatigue and improve quality of life for people with multiple sclerosis. You would receive either real or placebo stimulation over several sessions to see if it helps you feel less tired.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, which uses a mild electrical current to improve thinking, balance, and movement in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help with daily functioning and quality of life.
This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it helps improve symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may offer a non-drug option to manage symptoms like fatigue, walking difficulties, or other issues.
This study tests whether different types of gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp can help improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to support rehabilitation.
This study tests whether combining dual-task training (walking while doing a thinking task) with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve how stroke survivors move and think. It may help you walk safely while also paying attention to other tasks.
