Improving Mobility and Reducing Fatigue in People With Multiple Sclerosis by Electrical Stimulation Therapy

NCT03684369 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2020-11-06

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of the clinical trial is to quantify the capacity of a translatable protocol of electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to improve walking performance and self-reported disabilities of persons with MS. The hypothesis is that activation of sensory nerve fibers with augmented TENS promotes recovery of sensorimotor function and improves the disability status of individuals with MS. The rationale for the proposed clinical trial is that the approach provides a low-cost therapeutic strategy for persons with MS to manage walking limitations and fatigue.
