Comparative efficacy of non- pharmacological interventions on sleep quality in patients with multiple sclerosis: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Occupational therapy-based sleep interventions and effleurage massage appear to be the most effective non-pharmacological strategies for improving sleep quality in patients with MS. However, further high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings and strengthen the evidence base.
