NCT ID NCT07593807
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with virtual reality exercises and physical therapy can improve symptoms like balance, fatigue, and thinking in people with multiple sclerosis. Thirty participants will receive both real and sham TMS in a crossover design, with outcomes measured over a year. The goal is to see if this non-drug approach can ease multiple MS-related problems at once.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to ease multiple symptoms of MS, like fatigue, balance problems, and brain fog.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment is also complex and time-consuming, which might limit real-world use.
