Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can reduce muscle spasticity and improve balance in people with multiple sclerosis. About 24 adults aged 18–60 with MS and mild-to-moderate spasticity will receive rTMS, and researchers will measure changes in muscle tone, spasm frequency, balance, walking, and pain. The goal is to see if this painless brain stimulation can offer a new way to manage MS symptoms without medication.
