Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

This study tested whether a structured Pilates program during pregnancy, continued until childbirth, helps women recover ligament strength and reduce pain after giving birth. Researchers followed 42 women at 6 weeks postpartum, measuring joint looseness and activity limitations. …

This study investigates whether an online Pilates program designed for people with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome or hypermobility spectrum disorder can reduce pain and improve function. Participants follow 25-minute guided videos three times a week for eight weeks. Researche…

This study tested whether a small, at-home device that stimulates a nerve in the ear can improve symptoms like pain, fatigue, sleep, and mood in people with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). Twenty-five adults with hEDS used the device daily for two weeks, with some rece…

This study tested a wearable device that delivers mild electrical stimulation to the ear in 30 adults with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). The goal was to see if it could improve quality of life by reducing symptoms like pain, fatigue, sleep problems, and anxiety. Part…

This study tested whether wearing compression garments and doing specific physiotherapy exercises could improve balance and quality of life in people with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). Forty patients with hEDS were followed for a year, first receiving standard care, …

This study looked at whether a program called Hyperarch Fascia Training (HFT) can reduce ankle pain and improve jumping ability in active adults aged 20-45 who have had ankle sprains. 62 participants were split into two groups: one did HFT exercises remotely for 12 weeks, while t…

This study tested whether a custom compression vest (SED CICATREX®) can reduce shoulder pain and improve stability in adults with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. 48 participants wore the vest for 4 weeks, then went without it for 4 weeks. Researchers measured muscle strength,…

This study tested whether a supervised exercise program (MoveUS) could reduce fatigue and improve quality of life in 108 adults with shoulder instability. Participants were randomly assigned to either the exercise program or usual care. The results will help determine if this app…

This study looked at how hormones and birth control pills affect knee ligament looseness in healthy women. Researchers measured knee laxity in 45 women at two points in their menstrual cycle, comparing those on hormonal contraceptives to those not. The goal was to better understa…

This study tested whether a powerful DNA test called high-throughput exome sequencing can find genetic causes of multiple birth defects in fetuses when standard exams fail. Researchers studied 100 fetuses with at least two malformations and no prior diagnosis. They compared the n…

This study tested whether a fast type of genetic test called rapid genome sequencing can find the cause of birth defects seen on ultrasound more quickly than current methods. Researchers included 184 pregnancies with certain ultrasound findings. The goal was to see if results cou…

This study collected blood and saliva from 334 people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and their relatives to find genetic differences linked to the condition. Researchers compared DNA from 30 patients and 30 relatives using advanced gene sequencing. The goal was to create a genetic t…

This completed study looked at 151 children with common postural conditions like flat feet, knock knees, or scoliosis. Researchers used wearable motion sensors and clinical tests to measure balance and motor control, then compared the results to healthy children. The goal was to …
