This study is investigating if dry needling, a treatment using tiny needles similar to acupuncture, can improve muscle tightness (spasticity) in people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Dry needling focuses on specific muscle areas to reduce stiffness and pain. Researchers hope to see if this minimally-invasive, medication-free approach also helps improve balance and walking. You may be able to join if you are 18-64 years old, have an MS diagnosis with spasticity in your lower legs, and a PDDS score of 5 or below. The study will measure spasticity after 5 weeks to see if the treatment is successful. The current recruitment status is unclear.
