The current research is aimed at using Transcutaneous Spinal Direct Current Stimulation (tSDCS) as complementary therapeutic tool in the treatment of spasticity in multiple sclerosis. Patients will be randomized into two groups (tSDCS-anode vs. tSDCS-sham) according to the detailed protocol. Main outcome will be measured by the change in walking speed using the Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW). A total of 40 patients ought to be enrolled as specified in methodology. Secondary outcomes will assess functional improvement through Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale (MSWS) Short Form - 36 (SF-36), Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and Ashworth scale.
