What this study is about

This trial is testing a treatment that combines electrical spinal cord stimulation with occupational therapy to help people with multiple sclerosis improve their upper extremity function. Participants will receive either the combined treatment or occupational therapy alone for six weeks, separated by a washout period. The goal of this pilot trial is to determine if this approach is feasible and safe, as well as whether it leads to improvements in upper extremity function and quality of life compared to occupational therapy alone.
