Comparing yoga, Pilates, and Tai Chi for balance in MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study compares Pilates, yoga, and Tai Chi to see which best helps with balance and walking in people with multiple sclerosis. You may benefit if you have relapsing-remitting MS and can walk on your own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS).
- Your Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score is 3.5 or less (you can walk without help).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not having a relapse right now and have no other major health issues (like heart disease, stroke, or pregnancy).
- You are willing to try Pilates, yoga, or Tai Chi exercises.

This trial tests whether combining balance exercises with brain-training activities can help improve walking and thinking in people with multiple sclerosis. It is for people aged 40–55 who have mild cognitive problems and balance issues.
This study tests whether special balance exercises, done with different visual cues (like moving images), can improve balance and stability in people with multiple sclerosis. If you are between 18 and 50, have mild to moderate disability, and haven't had a recent relapse, this trial may be a good fit.
This study tests a 12-week home-based balance training program for people with multiple sclerosis. Sessions are done online with a helper present, and the goal is to improve walking and reduce fall risk.
This study looks at how multiple sclerosis affects balance, walking patterns, and movement. Researchers will use motion analysis to understand changes, which could help improve treatments.
This study tests two new balance-training programs for people with Multiple Sclerosis. One program combines balance exercises with mild electrical stimulation on the legs, while the other uses walking exercises on a treadmill with special visual feedback. Both aim to improve balance and help your brain make new connections.
