Home-based Spinal Cord Stimulation for Hand & Arm Function in MS

This study is testing a new approach for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who have difficulty using their hands and arms. It combines a non-invasive (applied to the skin) spinal cord stimulator called SCONE with hand and arm exercises, all done at home. Researchers want to see if this combination is practical and acceptable for participants. You might be able to join if you are an adult between 18 and 70 with MS, have impaired hand/arm function, and have a partner or caregiver who can help you during the study. The main goals are to see how many people complete the 8-week program and how acceptable the treatment is to them.

Study design
This is a pilot study designed to test feasibility with a planned enrollment of 2 participants.
What's involved
You would complete 8 weeks of hand/arm exercises combined with spinal cord stimulation performed at home with the help of a partner.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoints are measured at 8 weeks, indicating the duration of the intervention period.
