Can thinking about walking help MS patients?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether imagining or watching walking movements can improve walking ability in people with multiple sclerosis. It focuses on low-risk, non-invasive mental exercises that may help retrain the brain and muscles.
