About this trial
In the sponsor's words
This study is planned to evaluate the effects of laughter yoga applied to patients with multiple sclerosis on fatigue, sleep quality and psychological well-being. Although there are studies in the national and international literature that separately address the effects of laughter therapy on fatigue, sleep quality and psychological well-being, no studies have been found that address the effects of laughter therapy on fatigue, sleep quality and psychological well-being in patients with multiple sclerosis. This study is expected to make a significant contribution to the literature as it is the first experimental study to evaluate the effects of laughter therapy and laughter yoga applied to patients with multiple sclerosis on fatigue, sleep quality and psychological well-being. It is also thought that this study can guide studies to be conducted with other parameters. This study is planned to evaluate the effects of laughter yoga applied to patients with multiple sclerosis on fatigue, sleep quality and psychological well-being. Research Hypothesis H1: Laughter yoga reduces the fatigue level of multiple sclerosis patients compared to the control group.
