Music may boost walking training for MS patients
NCT ID NCT07399262
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding music to technology-based walking exercises helps people with multiple sclerosis walk better. Thirty-two participants with mild to moderate disability will do four weeks of gait training at home via telerehabilitation, either with or without music. Researchers will measure changes in walking speed, balance, fatigue, and thinking skills.
