Spinal cord stimulation at home for hand and arm function in MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have trouble using your hands or arms (e.g., slow with pegboard test).
- You have a partner or caregiver who can help you during the study.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

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.
This trial tests whether wearing a special suit at home can help manage muscle stiffness (spasticity) or lack of coordination (ataxia) caused by multiple sclerosis. The suit delivers gentle stimulation to improve movement in your arms or legs.
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 whether applying gentle electrical stimulation to the brain and spinal cord can help improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. The stimulation is non-invasive, meaning it is done from the outside without surgery, and is combined with hand training exercises.
This study tests a non-invasive electrical stimulation treatment meant to help people regain hand and arm movement after a stroke. You would attend frequent therapy-style sessions, and the team would track your arm function over about eight months.
This trial tests a smart form of spinal stimulation that responds to your body’s signals to help improve upper-extremity (arm/hand) function after a spinal cord injury. If it works, it may make everyday hand tasks like dressing, grooming, or feeding easier.
