      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: In this study, patients are randomly divided into one of two experimental and control groups after examining the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In this study, due to the small number of samples, in consultation with a statistician, it was decided to use the random blocking method. Blocking is usually used to balance the number of samples assigned to each of the groups studied. The statistician used the website https://www.sealedenvelope.com/simple-randomiser/v1/lists, Considering that we had 2 groups, they designed 15 two-person blocks. . A person who divides patients into two groups based on this table is unaware of the study, Blinding description: In this study, patients are unaware of the groups. In this study, exercise therapy is presented in both experimental and control groups, but they are different. In this study, patients try to come at different times and do not even contact each other so that they do not know the details of each other's exercises. Also, the person doing the assessments is unaware of the groups.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Multiple Sclerosis.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Receive dynamic neuromuscular stabilization exercises. These exercises are performed in different positions that are actually modeled on the positions of the growing baby. Exercises start with simple situations and gradually become more complex. In fact, the exercises start with the supine and then progress to the rolling, sitting, bear and squat-like postures. In each training session, 3 different situations are taught. Each exercise is maintained 3 times for 10 seconds and the patient is given 10 seconds of rest between each. The workout lasts for 6 weeks. The patient goes to physiotherapy twice a week. Intervention 2: Control group: Receive Kegel exercises. Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which support the uterus, bladder, small intestine and rectum.This exercise involves the patient contracting the pelvic floor muscles under the supervision of a therapist. In each session, moderate and intense exercises are performed. Moderate-intensity exercises last between 6 and 10 seconds, and high-intensity exercises last between 1 and 3 seconds. The exercises start from the supine position and are gradually taught in different positions such as sitting and standing. The patient is treated twice a week for 6 weeks.</i_freetext>
