Summary

This trial tests whether an 8-week Clinical Pilates program can improve balance and physical function in adults with multiple sclerosis. Participants are randomly assigned to Clinical Pilates, standard physiotherapy, or a control group with no structured exercise. Researchers measure static and dynamic balance, mobility, fatigue, and motivation at several points during and after the program. The goal is to see if this type of exercise offers a meaningful benefit over usual care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Clinical Pilates-based rehabilitation program
What this could lead to
If it works, Clinical Pilates could become a practical, low-cost way to improve balance and reduce fall risk in people with multiple sclerosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early trial with only 21 participants, so results may not apply to everyone with MS. The program requires supervised sessions, and benefits may fade after it ends.
