Symptomatic therapy and neurorehabilitation in multiple sclerosis

Bone health in ambulatory individuals with multiple sclerosis: Impact of physical activity, glucocorticoid use, and body composition

“…Not only does physical activity have positive effects on bone health, but physical activity interventions designed specifically for people with MS have shown beneficial effects on MS-related symptoms, such as fatigue [66][67][68], spasticity [69], muscle weakness [68,70], and mobility limitations [71][72][73]. Physical activity is often suggested as a method of managing symptoms [74] and may provide an important alternative or adjuvant for pharmacological treatment. Similar to current trends in rehabilitation, our data support the importance of physical activity for individuals with MS.…”

Neurorehabilitation in Persons with Multiple Sclerosis: Scientific Basis and Options of Treatment

“…In this context, the prospect of cognitive rehabilitation offers interesting possibilities, even if further larger randomised studies are needed. Lastly but not least, it must improve personal activities and ability to participate in social activities, thereby improving quality of life [87].…”

Effect of Comorbidities on Outcomes of Neurorehabilitation Interventions in Multiple Sclerosis

“…7 Consequently, neurorehabilitation interventions are needed to manage the consequences of MS. 8 For the purposes of this study, we defined neurorehabilitation interventions as any treatment activities or services aimed at reducing the effect of disability resulting from MS using the principles of neuroplasticity. 9 Researchers have shown that neurorehabilitation interventions can improve physical function, increase activity and participation, and optimize the quality of life of people with MS. 10 Given the high prevalence of comorbidities in MS and the desire of clinicians to apply evidence-based practices, it is critical to understand the extent to which neurorehabilitation researchers have considered the presence of comorbidities in the course of their studies. This knowledge would guide the application of evidence in real-life settings.…”
