What is this study about?
Problems with memory, attention, and problem solving (together known as ‘cognitive’ problems) affect up to 70% of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). These problems are distressing for people with MS, affecting their mood, ability to work, and enjoy social activities. Therefore, treating cognitive problems is a ‘top 10’ research priority for people with MS.
The NEuRoMS (Neuropsychological Evaluation and Rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis) project aims to develop a clinical pathway, to routinely assess people with MS for cognitive problems using brief, online tasks (cognitive screening) and provide appropriate support to help them manage these problems. In this study, we will implement the pathway in seven study sites to evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of the NEuRoMS rehabilitation intervention, and explore the process of implementation of the NEuRoMS screening and management pathway.
