NCT ID NCT06374264

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a device called MR-C-014 that uses sound to help people with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) who have trouble walking. Thirty adults will use the device for 30 minutes, three times a week for 8 weeks. The main goals are to see if people find it acceptable and safe, and to measure any changes in walking distance.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

MR-C-014 (a rhythmic auditory stimulation device)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to improve walking and endurance in people with NMOSD.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 30 participants. It is not designed to prove the device works, only that it is safe and acceptable. Results may not apply to everyone.
