Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type

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, …
