NCT ID NCT07132775
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a full-body suit that delivers mild electrical pulses to muscles. The goal is to see if it safely reduces spasticity, overactive reflexes, and pain in people with neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis or fibromyalgia. Fifteen adults will try both the active suit and a sham version to compare effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
full-body electrostimulation suit (EXOPULSE Mollii)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a drug-free way to reduce muscle stiffness, spasms, and pain for people with conditions like multiple sclerosis or fibromyalgia.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The sham comparison helps, but the benefit might be small or due to a placebo effect.
