Rehabilitation for people with multiple sclerosis

Rehabilitation for people with multiple sclerosis: an overview of Cochrane Reviews
Cochrane Systematic Review 14 January 2019
  • Review of 15 Cochrane reviews (168 clinical trials) showed some benefits for people with MS who participated in exercise and physical activity programmes or multidisciplinary rehabilitation programmes (where the intervention is provided by a team of health professionals from different professions). They found improvements in everyday activities, function, and health‐related quality of life, compared with those who were not offered rehabilitation. 
  • Evidence for other rehabilitation modalities was limited, due to lack of good‐quality studies.
