STABLE Pilates for Hypermobility
{ "Pilates for Hypermobility Study", "This study is exploring whether a 6-week Pilates exercise program, led by a physical therapist, can help manage symptoms like pain in people with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Hypermobile EDS (hEDS), or Hypermobile Spectrum Disorder. Pilates is a gentle exercise focusing on muscle control, posture, and breathing, which may improve strength and stability. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have self-reported hypermobility with persistent pain for at least 3 months, and can get on and off the floor without help. The study will look at how practical and acceptable this Pilates program is for participants. The current recruitment status is unclear, and the study plans to enroll 100 participants.", "design": "This interventional study plans to enroll 100 participants. It is testing a Pilates-based exercise program and educational seminars.", "commitments": "You would participate in a 6-week Pilates-based exercise program. The study will also assess your progress at the end of the intervention and at a 12-week follow-up.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Participants will be followed up at 12 weeks after the start of the intervention.", }
