Performance and Long-term Safety of FlowOx2.0™ in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis - Impact on Spasticity and Pain
A Double-blind, Randomized, Controlled, Parallel Design 4-week Investigation, Followed by an Open 6-month Investigation, to Evaluate the Performance and Long-term Safety of FlowOx2.0™ in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The study is a 4-week double-blind, randomized, controlled, parallel design investigation to investigate the impact of intermittent negative pressure on spasticity and pain in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). The investigational device (FlowOx2.0™) is composed of a Pressure Chamber and a Control Unit (and disposable parts). All subjects will receive the same pressure chamber but be randomized to either a Control Unit that generates intermittent negative pressure (INP) of - (minus) 40 mmHg or a Control Unit that generates INP of - 10 mmHg. FlowOx2.0™ generating -40 mmHg is the investigational device, and FlowOx2.0™ generating -10 mmHg, is the comparator device. After the initial 4-week double-blind period, all participants will be offered the -40mmHg control unit to be used during a 6-months optional extension part.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Have received botulinum toxin injection for spasticity within the last 4 months.
- Having planned surgery or other treatment within the coming study period of up to 7 months making it difficult to participate in the study, as judged by the Investigator.
Other illness
- Have spasticity due to a disease other than MS.
- Have an ongoing infection that subjectively affects their MS state, as judged by the Investigator.
- Have symptoms or illness that make it difficult to participate in the study, as judged by the Investigator.
- Subjects with uncontrolled wound infections or infections in the skin of the treated leg.
Other
- Subjects meeting any of the following criteria will not be permitted to participate in the clinical investigation:
- Pregnancy or planned pregnancy within the upcoming study period, up to 7 months (includes the optional extension part).
Who the study is looking for
- The subjects must meet all the following criteria to be eligible to participate in the clinical investigation:
- Diagnosed MS according to revised McDonald criteria.
- Give written informed consent.
- Age 18-70 years.
- Stable MS disease without attack within the last three months.
- Ability to perform the walk tests:
- 2-minute walk test, and
- 25-Foot walk.
- Self-reported spasticity in the most affected leg that would be subject to treatment at baseline with a score of ≥ 4, scored using the numeric rating scale (NRS) during the last 24 hours.
- Pain and/or discomfort related to the spasticity described in inclusion criteria 6., over the last 7 days using the numeric rating scale (NRS).
- Stable and unchanged treatment of spasticity and pain over the last month, as judged by the Investigator.
- Stable and unchanged disease-modulating treatment for MS last 6 months, as judged by the Investigator.
