Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A randomized, parallel-group, clinical trial will be conducted to compare the immediate effects of the inclusion of a neurodynamic intervention into a multimodal physiotherapy program on pressure pain sensitivity, pain and manual dexterity in patients with multiple sclerosis
