About this trial

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.
