Referring to the recent review by E Harper in MPO [1], it may be fruitful to compare the effects of physiotherapy, slow pranayams and fast pranayams in multiple sclerosis. I guess that slow pranayams will be more valuable and they are easier to perform. The effect may be apparent in 3 weeks.

Conflict of interests: none
