NCT ID NCT07252895

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests the EXOPULSE Suit, a body garment with 50 electrodes that stimulate muscles to reduce stiffness and improve balance. 77 people with multiple sclerosis will use the suit for one hour every other day, either in active or sham mode, then switch. The goal is to see if it improves walking ability and quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

EXOPULSE Suit (a wearable device with electrodes that stimulate muscles)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a non-drug option to help people with MS walk better and feel more stable at home.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage crossover trial. The sham mode may also show some effect, and results may not apply to all MS patients. The device requires regular use and may not work for everyone.
