Summary

This study looks at whether taking a walking-improvement drug (dalfampridine) along with physical therapy helps people with multiple sclerosis walk better than either treatment alone. About 48 adults with MS who have trouble walking will first try the drug for 6 weeks, then stop for 2 weeks, and then be randomly assigned to 6 weeks of physical therapy either with or without the drug. Researchers will compare walking speed and function between the groups.
