This trial is testing whether laughter yoga can help people with multiple sclerosis manage pain, fatigue, and stress. Laughter yoga is a complementary therapy that combines breathing exercises, gentle stretching, and guided laughter to help your body relax and release natural pain-relieving chemicals. Researchers want to see if this treatment, used alongside your regular care, can improve how you feel.
Multiple sclerosis causes pain, fatigue, and emotional stress that aren't always fully managed by medication alone. This study explores whether this treatment might be a safe, low-cost way to help people with MS feel better and cope with their symptoms more effectively.

If you join, you'll be randomly placed in either a group that receives laughter yoga sessions plus your regular care, or a comparison group that continues regular care alone. The laughter yoga sessions will include breathing exercises, gentle stretching, and guided laughter practice. You'll likely visit multiple times and have your pain levels, stress, and some blood markers measured before and after the program to see if the treatment helps.
