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.

- 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.

This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spinal cord can help improve hand and arm function in people with MS. If you have MS and difficulty using your hands, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve hand and arm function in people with multiple sclerosis. If you have trouble using your hands due to MS, this treatment might help you regain some movement.
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 whether non-invasive brain and spinal cord stimulation can help improve arm and hand function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It involves training exercises combined with stimulation to see if this approach can strengthen your arms and hands.
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.
