What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Summary

This study tests whether a wearable device that gently vibrates arm muscles can improve arm and hand function in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Fifteen adults with relapsing-remitting MS will use the device at home for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure dexterity, coordination, and patient feedback to see if the therapy is feasible and helpful.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged over 18 years * Confirmed diagnosis of RRMS according to the McDonald criteria (33) * No MS relapse or exacerbation within the past 6 months (ensuring stability of symptoms) * Self-report on clinical evidence of UEx impairment (including reduced arm/hand function, muscle weakness, spasticity, or pain). * Stable on MS treatment for at least four weeks before recruitment, with no plans to initiate new treatments (participants may continue current treatments during the study) * Agree and are able to use the FVT device after training. * Sufficient proficiency in English to participate in interviews and follow instructions * Able to visit the laboratory for assessments * Able to provide written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Evidence of cognitive impairment that could interfere with following instructions (Mini-Montreal Cognitive Assessment score (Mini-MoCA) \< 12) * Comorbid neurological or psychiatric conditions affecting the UEx (including stroke and severe carpal tunnel syndrome) that would confound results or make FVT unsafe * Unstable cardiac disease or any major medical illness that would preclude participation * Any known contraindications to vibration therapy (pregnancy, acute deep vein thrombosis, severe osteoporosis, chronic migraines, epilepsy, active malignancy in the target area, unstable cardiac disease, or an implanted pacemaker without clearance)
