Effects of a Multidisciplinary Outpatient Rehabilitation Program on Physical Capacity and Quality of Life in Patients With Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2022

25 participants

Abstract

The management of patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is still underdeveloped in healthcare institutions in France. Although multidisciplinary management through exercise rehabilitation has demonstrated its benefits in many chronic pathologies, it has not been evaluated for EDS. As a result, to date there is no evidence of its effectiveness in patients with EDS. The objective of this study is therefore to objectively evaluate the effectiveness of such a treatment on the different dimensions of these patients' health.

Conditions: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

Primary outcome: Distance covered in the 6-minute walk test.

Enrollment: 25 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 25 participants or records.
