Yoga minimizes fatigue for some MS patients
Rehab Regs, July 1, 2004
Yoga has long been considered a way to improve the feeling of physical wellbeing. But now, researchers at Oregon Health and Science University found that yoga can benefit people suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS) by significantly reducing the fatigue symptoms of the disease. The study examined 69 MS patients for six months and found that most who took regular yoga classes noticed significant improvements in their physical health, according to the Sydney [Australia] Morning Herald. According to the study, yoga had no effect on the cognitive symptoms of MS, a disease of the central nervous system generated by lesions on the brain or spinal cord.
