Study Summary
This study is to examine the efficacy of tDCS to improving walking in people with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS). Our study compromises 1 group of subjects with MS which will attend the lab for three sessions. In the first session, subjects will be consented, complete the Patient Determined Disease Steps (PDDS), the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs) of the right and left knee extensors and flexors to determine the more-affected leg. The second and third sessions will involve whole-body FDG PET imaging. During each of these sessions, the subject will walk for 20 min on a treadmill at a self-selected speed during which time tDCS or SHAM, in a blinded manner, will be applied to the motor cortex (M1) corresponding to the more-affected leg. Approximately 2 minutes into the walking, \[18F\]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) will be administered by IV injection. Immediately after the walking is completed, the subject will be positioned in the PET/CT scanner and a whole body (top of head to toes) PET/CT scan will be acquired for the evaluation of glucose metabolism in the brain, spine, and lower extremities. The third session will be identical to the second session with the exception that the opposite condition (tDCS or SHAM) will be used.
Interventions
- DEVICE transcranial direct current stimulation or SHAM
