Motor imagery and sensorimotor training for MS pain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether mental practice (motor imagery) and sensory-motor exercises can reduce neuropathic pain in the legs for people with multiple sclerosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old
- You have a definite MS diagnosis (using 2024 criteria)
- You have not had a relapse in the last 3 months
- Your EDSS score is 6.0 or less (you can walk with or without assistance)
- You have had nerve-related pain in your legs for at least 3 months or it comes and goes
- You do not have other conditions causing pain, major spasticity, or hearing/vision/cognitive problems

This study looks at how people with multiple sclerosis experience pain. Researchers will examine different pain patterns to better understand and potentially improve pain management.
This study tests whether a mindfulness-based program can help reduce pain in people with multiple sclerosis. If you have MS and experience pain, this program might offer a new way to manage it.
This study tests whether exercise can help reduce pain in people with multiple sclerosis. If you have MS and moderate to severe pain, you may be asked to participate in a supervised exercise program.
This study looks at what helps or makes it harder for people with MS to practice mindfulness. It tests if a mindfulness program can help with pain. You can join if you have MS, have moderate to severe pain most days, and can use a mobile phone to complete study tasks.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called intermittent theta-burst stimulation to see if it can reduce leg stiffness (spasticity) and pain in people with multiple sclerosis. It may offer a new way to ease these symptoms without medication.
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.
