Functional Electrical Stimulation for Individuals With Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

NCT01647321 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

Secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) is a subtype of multiple sclerosis (MS) for which there are no existing therapies that alter the disease course. This research will utilize cutting edge functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling technology with the goal of improving walking in individuals with SPMS. The investigators hypothesize that FES cycling will improve walking in subjects with SPMS.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01647321

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01647321 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 16 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Johns Hopkins University, which has 1,517 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Active cycling is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01647321 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Maryland. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
