While there's no specific data about the Restural EMS device, there are FDA-approved electrical stimulation devices that have shown promise for people with MS who have walking difficulties. One notable example is Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) therapy, which can be particularly helpful for those experiencing foot drop. A newer option is the Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator (PoNS) device, which was FDA-approved in 2021 specifically for MS patients with gait difficulties. This device works by delivering electrical stimulation through the tongue and has shown significant improvements in walking ability when combined with physical therapy.

Before trying any electrical stimulation device, it's important to have an evaluation from a neurologist or physical therapist to determine if it's appropriate for your specific situation.
