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 whether combining balance training with two types of electrical stimulation—one that stimulates leg muscles and another that stimulates the spinal cord—can help people with multiple sclerosis improve their balance and walking ability. All participants will do balance training using interactive games, but some will also receive electrical stimulation during their sessions. Researchers will measure changes in balance, walking ability, confidence, and how well the brain and spinal cord communicate with muscles.
Multiple sclerosis often damages the nerves that control leg strength and balance, making people unsteady and at risk of falling. This trial is exploring whether electrical stimulation combined with balance training can help the nervous system heal and work better, potentially restoring more independence and reducing falls.

You will visit the research center twice a week for 6 weeks, with each session lasting about an hour. During visits, you will wear a safety harness and play interactive balance games while standing—some participants will also receive mild electrical stimulation to their leg muscles or spinal cord during the training. You will have three assessment visits: before training begins, right after the 6-week program ends, and 8 weeks later, where researchers will test your balance and walking, ask you questions, and measure how your nervous system is responding.
