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 transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) — a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain — to see if it can reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) and improve balance in people with MS. Researchers also want to understand how this treatment might affect walking patterns, joint movement, and pain. The study will compare real TMS treatment to a sham (fake) treatment to see if the real treatment actually works.
Muscle stiffness and balance problems are common and difficult-to-treat symptoms of MS that can seriously affect quality of life. This new treatment offers a non-invasive way to potentially help these symptoms by targeting the brain's motor control areas, and researchers want to find out if it's truly effective.

You will receive sessions of brain stimulation (either real or sham treatment) applied to a specific area of your scalp. The study will measure your muscle stiffness and balance before and after treatment, and may also test your walking pattern, joint movement, and pain levels. The trial is enrolling 24 people total, and you would be randomly assigned to receive either the active treatment or the sham treatment.
