The Effectiveness of Personalized Manual Therapy and Rehabilitation Program in Multiple Sclerosis: A Case Report

Abstract

ABSTRACT Purpose: This case report aims to investigate the effects of personalized manual therapy and rehabilitation programs on pain management, physical functions, quality of life, and overall well-being in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: A 39-year-old male patient with MS participated in a 12-week treatment program, conducted twice a week for 80 minutes per session. The therapy included manual therapy, balance-coordination exercises, stretching, and strengthening exercises. Pre- and post-treatment evaluations were conducted using comprehensive measurement tools, including quality-of-life surveys, pain and fatigue assessments, and posture analyses. Results: After the 12-week program, significant improvements were observed in the patient’s muscle strength, joint range of motion, and balance-coordination abilities. Pain and fatigue levels decreased, and quality-of-life scores showed a marked increase. Discussion: This case report demonstrates the efficacy of manual therapy and individualized rehabilitation approaches in improving physical functions, reducing pain, managing fatigue, and enhancing the quality of life in MS patients. Consistent with existing literature, the applied treatment protocol contributed positively to the overall well-being of the patient.
