Neurophysiological Effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation in Persons With MS
Neurophysiological Effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation in Persons With MS - a Pilot Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 10 Sept 2025 · Not updated for over 12 months - ask the site whether it is still open
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a treatment that could potentially reduce walking problems and fatigue in persons with Multiple Sclerosis. However, extensive use of TENS in a clinical setting is hindered by a lack of neurophysiological understanding of the effects of TENS. The primary objective of this pilot study is therefore to investigate the effects of TENS on brain activity in pwMS measured with fMRI.
