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.
