Could a tiny neck implant help repair MS-damaged nerves?
NCT ID NCT06796504
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a small device implanted on the vagus nerve in the neck to see if it can help repair myelin (the protective coating around nerves) in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. About 60 adults aged 22–50 will take part. Two-thirds will receive active stimulation, and one-third will receive no stimulation at first, then switch to active after 48 weeks. The main goal is to check safety and any signs of nerve repair.
