Physical Function, Health and Employment for People With Multiple Sclerosis

Active Not RecruitingNA

Sponsor: Nordlandssykehuset HF

Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis

Interventions: CoreDISTParticipation

Countries: Norway

Employment is low in people with MS, even when physical levels of functioning are high. The purpose of this study is to investigate if an individually tailored intervention combining individualized physiotherapy and work adaptation works better than usual care in terms of reducing barriers for work and improving levels of physical activity. The utility of the intervention will be investigated in terms of quality adjusted life years, long-term employment status and work-related costs.
