	<abstract>&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction:&lt;/strong&gt; The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of water exercises on the&amp;nbsp;quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; 30 multiple sclerosis patients (40-65 years old) were selected by available sample.&amp;nbsp;They were divided into control and experimental groups. The instrument was the Quality of&amp;nbsp;Life Questionnaire (SF-36) in this study. The experimental group participated in 6 weeks of&amp;nbsp;water exercises. The water exercises were held 3 sessions in every week. The every session&amp;nbsp;lasted 60 minutes. The data were analyzed by ANCOVA.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The results showed that water exercises had no significant effect on the quality of life&amp;nbsp;in patients with multiple sclerosis. Those only had a significant effect on the pain subscale and&amp;nbsp;reduced it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; It seems that water exercises can be used as a complementary therapy alongside&amp;nbsp;drug therapy in patients with multiple sclerosis.&lt;/p&gt;
