In multiple sclerosis (MS), the bodys immune system attacks the coating of nerve cells, leading to symptoms that may include muscle weakness, tingling and burning sensations, coordination and balance problems, cognitive difficulties, and fatigue. Some people with MS use complementary health approaches to try to relieve their symptoms.

  • Theres evidence that practicing yoga may help improve fatigue and mood in people with MS, but yoga has not been shown to improve mobility or thinking ability.

  • Research involving pulsed magnetic therapy (devices that use an electrical current to generate a magnetic field) has shown mixed results for MS-related fatigue.

  • Dietary supplements have not been shown to be helpful for MS.
