Wearable vibration therapy for arm and hand function in multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests if a wearable device that gently vibrates the arm can improve hand and arm function in people with multiple sclerosis. You would use the device at home while doing daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
- You have had no MS flare-ups in the last 6 months
- You have trouble using your arm or hand (like weakness, stiffness, or pain)
- Your MS treatment has been stable for at least 4 weeks, and you're not planning to start a new treatment

This study tests if vagus nerve stimulation (a mild electrical pulse on the ear) combined with hand exercises can help repair the protective coating of your nerves and improve hand function in multiple sclerosis.
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 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 whether virtual reality exercises can improve hand function and daily living for people with multiple sclerosis. It may help if you have trouble with fine hand movements.
This study tests whether doing a virtual-reality–based training program at home can improve movement and daily use of the right arm and hand in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help reduce hand limitations by practicing targeted movement skills using an easy remote setup.
This study tests a wearable device that uses gentle vibrations on the skin to help reduce muscle spasticity (tightness) in the arms after a spinal cord injury. The device may help your muscles relax and improve your control.
