Methods: 30 multiple sclerosis patients (40-65 years old) were selected by available sample. They were divided into control and experimental groups. The instrument was the Quality of Life Questionnaire (SF-36) in this study. The experimental group participated in 6 weeks of water exercises. The water exercises were held 3 sessions in every week. The every session lasted 60 minutes. The data were analyzed by ANCOVA. Results: The results showed that water exercises had no significant effect on the quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis. Those only had a significant effect on the pain subscale and reduced it. Conclusion: It seems that water exercises can be used as a complementary therapy alongside drug therapy in patients with multiple sclerosis. M3 ER -
