BACKGROUND Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, autoimmune and inflammatory nervous system disease. It leads to the loss of myelin in the white matter of brain, spinal cord and optic nerves, and causes tiredness, muscle cramp, tremor, unsteady gait and some inability to move. Due to the effects of exercise in patients with MS, we aimed to evaluate the effect of exercise on the therapeutic and recovery process of patients with MS. In this study, a narrative review was conducted using keywords, including Multiple Sclerosis, exercise, recovery, treatment, through searching in international scientific databases, such as PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus, on articles published form inception. Different types of exercises were assessed and reported by the researchers as beneficial rehabilitation strategies for patients to manage symptoms restore function, optimize quality of life, promote wellness and back to activities of daily living. These exercises include endurance exercises (aerobics), balance exercises, flexibility exercises, yoga exercises, hypnosis exercises, physiotherapy exercises and exercise in water. Because of positive effects of sport exercises, it is recommended that training program be considered as a complementary treatment alongside other treatments for MS patients.

“…A total of 20 articles investigated cortisol levels in basal conditions in MS ( Table 1). The sample size in MS groups ranged from 24 43,44 to 173 32 individuals, and some studies included control groups without MS 5,25,31,32,45,46,47,48,49 . According to Kurtzke's Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), the severity of disease, when assessed, ranged from 1-6.5 points, in individuals from 29-65 years old.…”

“…The results of cortisol levels were divergent, many articles (9/20) found higher cortisol levels in MS groups 5,25,30,31,32,37,45,47,50 , while others (4/20) showed lower levels 30,48,51,52 or did not differentiate (3/20) from the control group or laboratory thresholds 24,46,53 . Some articles did not classify higher or lower cortisol levels (4/20), presenting only the treatment effect 43,44,49,54 , where there was a reduction in levels after interventions or just the relationship with the symptom (1/20) 40 . Five studies did not show a significant correlation between cortisol levels with the duration, progression or severity of MS 5,24,32,47,52 .…”

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating, progressive and neurodegenerative disease. A disturbance on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis can be observed in patients with MS, showing altered cortisol levels. We aimed to identify basal cortisol levels and verify the relationship with clinical symptoms in patients with MS. A systematic search was conducted in the databases: Pubmed, Web of Science and SCOPUS. Both higher and lower cortisol levels were associated with MS. Higher cortisol levels were associated with depression and anxiety, while lower levels were associated with depression, fatigue and urinary dysfunction. Higher cortisol levels may be associated with the progression and severity of MS.
