First seen Jan 22, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study tests a small device implanted on the vagus nerve in the neck to see if it can safely help repair myelin (the protective coating around nerves) in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). About 60 adults aged 22-50 will receive the implant; two-thirds will get active stimulation and one-third will get no stimulation for the first 48 weeks. After that, all participants will receive active stimulation for another 48 weeks. The device is used alongside standard MS treatments.
