First seen Apr 14, 2026 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tested if a treatment called extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) can improve foot sensation, balance, and walking in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). 54 adults with MS received ESWT three times a week for six weeks. Researchers measured changes in foot sensitivity, knee joint awareness, and walking patterns. The goal was to see if this non-invasive therapy could help with common MS problems like poor balance and unsteady gait.
