Read our Multiple Sclerosis research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain. The goal is to see if this non-invasive approach can help reduce leg stiffness and improve walking ability in people with multiple sclerosis. Researchers will measure changes in disability level, walking distance, and quality of life.
Many people with MS experience painful leg stiffness (spasticity) that limits their ability to walk and affects daily life. Current treatments don't work well for everyone, so researchers are exploring whether this medication might offer a new option to reduce these symptoms.

If you enroll, you will receive either real magnetic brain stimulation or a sham (placebo) version using the same machine at very low intensity—neither you nor the researchers will know which you receive. You'll have sessions where magnetic pulses are applied to your scalp, and you'll complete walking tests and questionnaires about your symptoms and quality of life. The researchers will also use EEG (brain wave monitoring) to measure how your brain activity changes.
