Brain stimulation to improve leg weakness in MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can help people with multiple sclerosis who have leg stiffness and weakness. You will receive daily sessions over two weeks to see if it improves walking and quality of life.
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 diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS).
- You should have moderate to severe leg weakness due to MS, with some ability to walk (may need a cane or walker).
- Your MS symptoms and medications must be stable for at least 30 days before the study starts.
- You cannot have had any previous rTMS therapy.
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy during the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 if transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) and improve balance in people with multiple sclerosis. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate parts of the brain.
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 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.
