Walking with FES: a daily life study for MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether daily use of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) can improve real-world walking and daily activities for people with multiple sclerosis. FES uses small electrical pulses to help weak leg muscles move.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares how people with stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis walk, especially those with foot drop or trouble lifting the front of the foot. It may help improve walking therapies for people with these conditions.
This trial studies whether using the Cionic “Neural Sleeve” can improve walking and leg movement in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help if your MS affects mobility, and you can safely wear and tolerate the device during the day.
This study tests two new balance-training programs for people with Multiple Sclerosis. One program combines balance exercises with mild electrical stimulation on the legs, while the other uses walking exercises on a treadmill with special visual feedback. Both aim to improve balance and help your brain make new connections.
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 guided exercise program for people with advanced multiple sclerosis to see if it improves their daily life. You may benefit from getting structured, safe physical activity to help with mobility and well-being.
This trial tests whether the EXOPULSE Suit can help people with multiple sclerosis walk better. You will try the suit and we will measure how it affects your walking over time.
