Researchers from the Neurophysiology of Movement Laboratory at CU Boulder are conducting a study to investigate if electrical stimulation applied to the legs can reduce fatigue and improve walking in persons with multiple sclerosis.
You may be eligible to participate if you:
- Are between18–65 years of age
- Have clinically confirmed diagnosis of MS
- Are able to walk but have some difficulty walking
- Experience some fatigue during activities of daily living
The 11-week study involves four evaluation visits and 18 treatment sessions (three times/week for six weeks):
- Evaluation sessions (approximately two hours each)
- Answering questionnaires
- Tests of walking, balance and muscle function
- Treatments (approximately 60 minutes each)
- TENS applied to leg muscles while performing weight-lifting exercises
- The treatment will be applied to two muscle groups in each leg
Participants will be paid up to $880 for completing the 11-week trial.
