Spinal stimulation for hand function in multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 70 years old.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS).
- Your MS must cause some difficulty with hand or arm function, like slower hand movements.
- Your MS treatment must have been stable for at least 6 months.
- Your disability level should be moderate, for example, you can walk with some help (EDSS 3.0 to 6.5).
- You must not have had an MS relapse or taken steroids for it in the last 3 months.

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 two non-invasive treatments—magnetic pulses to the brain and mild electrical stimulation to arm muscles—to see if they can improve hand movement and daily tasks in people with multiple sclerosis. Participation may help you use your hands more easily.
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 is testing a safe method of electrical stimulation through the skin (called transcutaneous stimulation) combined with physical therapy to help people who recently had a cervical spinal cord injury improve hand and arm function. It is designed for people who are still in the hospital rehab setting.
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin over your spine can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury or stroke. It is for people with some preserved movement in their upper body.
This trial tests a treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the upper spine to help improve arm and hand function after a recent spinal cord injury. It is for people who are in the hospital and have injury levels between C1 and C8.
