Brain-computer interface for multiple sclerosis patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface using motor imagery can help people with multiple sclerosis. You would imagine moving your limbs while the system translates that into feedback, potentially improving movement or spasticity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have multiple sclerosis diagnosed by a neurologist using standard criteria
- You are between 18 and 60 years old
- You have not had any MS attacks or new MRI lesions in the past 3 months
- Your spasticity is mild (score of 1 or less on a standard scale)
- You have normal thinking and memory function (MMSE score 24 or higher)
- You can understand the study and sign a consent form

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses brain stimulation and MRI to study how the brain controls muscle movement in people with relapsing-remitting MS. Researchers want to understand changes in brain 'inhibition' (a natural stopping signal) that might affect walking or thinking.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called cerebellar tDCS to help improve movement, thinking, and daily functioning in people with multiple sclerosis. The treatment involves placing electrodes on your scalp to deliver mild electrical current, which may help reduce symptoms like balance problems and cognitive difficulties.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can help people with multiple sclerosis. It involves brain stimulation sessions and MRI scans to see if the treatment improves symptoms or brain function.
This trial tests if combining a brain-computer interface (a device that reads brain signals) with virtual reality (an immersive computer environment) can help improve arm movement after a stroke. It might be a good fit if you had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago and still have some weakness in one arm.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) device that may help people with ALS or motor neuron disease regain some control over their environment. It involves implanting the device in a blood vessel in the brain.
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain-computer interface (BCI) device designed to help people with severe arm paralysis—from conditions like ALS or stroke—regain some ability to control their arms. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into arm movements, potentially helping you perform daily activities.
