Full-body electrical stimulation suit for spasticity and pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests a full-body suit that delivers gentle electrical pulses to help reduce muscle stiffness, spasms, and pain in people with conditions like multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, or other neurological problems. It may help with movement and comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You need a doctor's approval to join.
- You must have spasticity, pain, or overactive reflexes due to a neurological or neuromuscular condition, or have a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis or fibromyalgia.
- If you have MS, you need to walk (with or without support), not have had a relapse in the last 3 months, and have some muscle stiffness.
- If you have fibromyalgia, your diagnosis must be at least 3 months old.
- You must be able to walk 10 meters (about 33 feet) with or without help.

This trial tests whether wearing a special suit at home can help manage muscle stiffness (spasticity) or lack of coordination (ataxia) caused by multiple sclerosis. The suit delivers gentle stimulation to improve movement in your arms or legs.
This study tests a special suit (called the EXOPULSE Mollii suit) to see if it can help reduce muscle stiffness and improve movement in people with multiple sclerosis. If you have spasticity and can walk without help, this might be an option to explore.
This study tests whether wearing a special suit (Mollii) that sends gentle electrical pulses to the body can help improve movement, balance, and daily life for people who have had a stroke or have multiple sclerosis. The suit is meant to calm overactive muscles and help you move better.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) to see if it can reduce leg spasticity (stiffness) and pain in people with multiple sclerosis. It uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, and does not require surgery.
This study tests whether using a small electrical nerve stimulator on the skin can help improve symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS), such as pain or numbness. The treatment is non-invasive and may offer a safe way to manage MS symptoms without medication.
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.
