Breathing new life into MS treatment: oxygen therapy shows promise for arm strength
NCT ID NCT06390930
First seen Feb 24, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study tests whether a breathing technique called acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) can help improve arm and hand function in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). AIH involves breathing short bursts of low oxygen, which has previously been shown to safely increase ankle strength in MS. Researchers will measure brain signals, muscle responses, and hand strength in 22 participants before and after AIH to understand how it affects the nervous system.
