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 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 whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can help people with multiple sclerosis. It involves brain stimulation sessions and MRI scans to see if the treatment improves symptoms or brain function.
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 a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called cerebellar tDCS to help improve movement, thinking, and daily functioning in people with multiple sclerosis. The treatment involves placing electrodes on your scalp to deliver mild electrical current, which may help reduce symptoms like balance problems and cognitive difficulties.
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.
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve movement and walking in people who have trouble with motor function. You can join if you're able to walk daily, with or without a walking aid, and don't have metal in your brain.
