Tylenol tested as a secret weapon against MS walking fatigue
NCT ID NCT07440446
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether acetaminophen (Tylenol) can reduce walking fatigue in people with multiple sclerosis. Twenty participants will take either the drug or a placebo, then walk on a treadmill until they get tired. A week later, they repeat the test with the opposite pill. The goal is to see if lowering body temperature helps them walk longer.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to help people with MS walk longer before getting tired.
