Could a magnetic helmet ease MS symptoms?
NCT ID NCT07451600
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) and improve balance in people with multiple sclerosis. Researchers will compare real rTMS to a sham (fake) treatment in 24 adults aged 18-60 with MS. The goal is to see if this approach can also help with walking, joint movement, and pain.
