Purpose Of Review:
Exercise is a recommended non-pharmacological approach to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms. Mind-body movement interventions (MBMIs) offer a multi-component exercise option that integrates movement, breathwork, and mindfulness. Using an umbrella review, we assessed the current best evidence on MBMIs (ai chi, dance, Pilates, qigong, tai chi, and yoga) for managing MS symptoms.
Recent Findings:
MBMIs significantly improved balance, equal to or superior to active controls (AC) or usual care (UC). Ai chi/tai chi/qigong significantly improved depression. Analyzed with other mind-body therapies, yoga reduced pain compared to AC/UC. Mixed results were found for fatigue. Physical function and quality of life were comparable to AC/UC. The certainty of evidence was low to very low for most MBMIs. Most reviews were "critically low" quality. MBMIs are commonly included in MS exercise reviews and may improve balance, pain, and depression. However, larger trials with active comparators and comprehensive reporting are needed to improve quality and certainty.
