ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effectiveness of a special suit called the Exopulse MolliiⓇ suit for patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS can cause problems like difficulty walking, balance issues, and muscle stiffness. The goal of this study is to see if wearing this suit can help improve movement and reduce these symptoms.

To take part in the study, you need to be at least 18 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of MS. You should also be able to follow simple instructions and have a certain level of walking ability. If you join, you will be randomly placed in one of two groups: one will wear the active suit, while the other will wear an inactive version. Both groups will use the suits for 60 minutes, three times a week, over three weeks. Throughout the study, researchers will check how your pain, balance, walking speed, and overall quality of life change. This trial aims to find new ways to help manage MS symptoms and improve the daily lives of those living with this condition.
