The usefulness of Tai Chi/Qi Gong for people with multiple sclerosis was tested in this pilot study. Eight patients were monitored over a two-month baseline and two-month intervention. Statistically significant pre to post improvements for the group as a whole were found on measures of balance and depression. Small improvements in other self-rated symptoms were also noted.
