This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.

What is this trial?

This is a small pilot study testing a wearable device called Myovolt that delivers gentle vibration therapy to arm muscles. Researchers want to see if using this device at home for 4 weeks can help people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis improve their arm and hand function, and whether it's practical and comfortable to use.

Many people with multiple sclerosis experience weakness, stiffness, or pain in their arms and hands that makes daily activities difficult. This study explores whether vibration therapy—a newer approach—could be a simple, at-home way to help improve these symptoms.

Do you qualify?

You likely qualify if…

you are at least 18 years old
you have been diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis using standard diagnostic criteria
you have not had a multiple sclerosis relapse or worsening of symptoms in the past 6 months
you experience arm or hand weakness, stiffness, pain, or reduced function that you can describe
you have been stable on your current MS medications for at least 4 weeks with no plans to change them during the study
you speak English well enough to follow instructions and participate in interviews

You likely don't qualify if…

you have significant memory or thinking problems that would make it hard to follow instructions
you have had a stroke or severe carpal tunnel syndrome affecting your arms
you have unstable heart disease or another serious medical condition
you are pregnant, have severe osteoporosis, epilepsy, or an implanted pacemaker without medical clearance for vibration therapy
you have active cancer in the treatment area or conditions where vibration therapy is not safe

What participation looks like

You would wear the Myovolt wearable vibration device on your arm muscles at home for 4 weeks as part of a daily program. You'll visit the lab for assessments before, during, and after the study, and you'll share your experience and feedback about how easy the device is to use and whether you noticed any changes in your arm function.
