Study Finds Tension Exercises May Ease MS Fatigue
A recent study, published in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine, explores a potential new approach to managing fatigue in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The study investigates the effectiveness of Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) on this common and challenging symptom, affecting up to 80% of people with MS worldwide.
The pilot study involved 28 participants and found promising results. After completing TRE sessions, participants reported a significant 25% reduction in fatigue levels. This improvement surpassed the threshold often deemed clinically meaningful. Additionally, participants experienced reductions in spasticity and pain, along with improvements in walking ability.
However, the study was relatively small and further research is needed to confirm these benefits and assess long-term effects. Some participants also found the use of digital tools to record symptoms and physical performance daily to be demanding.
While more research is required, this study suggests that TRE may offer a safe and low-cost method for easing fatigue in people with multiple sclerosis. This could provide a valuable addition to current management strategies, particularly given the widespread impact of fatigue on MS patients.
