Can virtual training rewire the brain in MS?
NCT ID NCT07660601
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tests a 4-week training program that uses mixed reality to guide precise movements, like stacking virtual objects. The goal is to see if this can improve walking speed, balance, and thinking in people with multiple sclerosis. Thirty adults with MS will participate, and researchers will measure changes in brain connectivity and muscle control.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- gait adaptation training with mixed reality
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a non-drug rehabilitation method to improve walking and thinking in people with MS.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early pilot study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply widely. The training is intensive and may not work for everyone.
