From the registry
This study is being carried out at Multiple Sclerosis (MS) centers to evaluate whether a full-body stimulation suit at home can help people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) reduce symptoms like spasticity (muscle stiffness) and ataxia (poor coordination), and improve daily functioning. Can pwMS who experience spasticity or ataxia benefit from using a stimulation suit for 6 weeks? Researchers will compare two groups: an intervention group (who will use the suit) and a control group (who will not use the suit). Participants in the intervention group will: * Wear the suit for 6 weeks in total every day or every other day (1 week during their MS center admission and 5 weeks at home). * Receive their usual care in addition to wearing the suit. * Undergo clinical tests at the MS center after 1 week and 6 weeks of stimulation. Participants in the control group will: * Receive their usual care. * Undergo clincial tests at the same time points as the other group.
