“…73 Also, a positive impact on physical and psychological functioning and energy levels have been reported. 74,75 To do so, European MS organisations should work together as partners to retrieve public funding for patient activation programmes. By providing tailored care when needed, patients can be supported to remain physically and mentally active and at work.…”

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive disease associated with a large variety of symptoms and changing patients' needs during the disease course. In order to provide appropriate care in every disease stage and let patients live their lives to the full, a multi-disciplinary approach and patient activation is needed. Objective: To summarise the multi-disciplinary perspective of MS, with focus on the organisation of a multi-disciplinary care team and possibilities to support patient activation. Methods: This review reflects the content of the presentations, audience polling results and discussions on the multi-disciplinary perspective of MS during the second Pan-European MS Multi-stakeholder Colloquium. Results: In many countries, the neurologist with or without the support of an MS nurse is responsible for the long-term care of MS patients. When needed, they should refer to other (non-)medical specialists. However, the patient should be empowered as well to manage his/her disease and to implement a physically active lifestyle in order to improve treatment outcomes and quality of life. Conclusion: To create equal access to care for MS patients across Europe, evidence-based standards of care, symptom self-monitoring tools and educational programmes for patients and healthcare professionals including non-medical treatment strategies should be developed at the European level.

Abstract-Our objective was to review the current body of evidence supporting the efficacy of self-management programs in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) and other chronic neurological conditions. We reviewed published literature using standardized search terms; examined self-management interventions in a variety of chronic neurological disorders, including MS; and classified studies using the evidence classification established by the American Academy of Neurology. We reviewed 527 abstracts, of which 39 met our inclusion criteria for evaluation. Of the 39 studies, 3 provided class I evidence assessing the efficacy of self-management interventions: a randomized controlled trial of a telephone counseling program for health promotion in MS, a home-based exercise program for reducing falls in people with Parkinson disease, and the comparison of a fitness center program versus a home-based exercise program for people with traumatic brain injury. The remaining studies provided additional support for self-management interventions with a lesser degree of methodologic rigor (class II, class III, or class IV evidence). We concluded that self-management strategies are applicable to chronic neurological diseases, but a need exists for more rigorous studies in this area. We provide recommendations for future intervention study methodologies with a specific emphasis on MS care.

“…There were 37 intervention group subjects (22%) who were nonadherent, missing on average three calls in a row three separate times over the 6-month period. All 71 intervention participants received, on average, 11 calls from the telerehabilitation coordinator (median: 9; range: 1-39), lasting an average of 4.12 min each (median: 3.67; range: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…4 For persons with severe mobility impairments due to SCD, telehealth interventions have focused mostly on the prevention and management of secondary conditions, including pressure ulcers 5 and depression, 6 or on improving health behaviors. 7 An emerging trend in creating telehealth programs is the use of interactive voice response (IVR) telephony that allows for virtual health care to monitor and assess patients' health and disease status, promote healthy behaviors and improve health outcomes. The advantages of the virtual healthcare approach compared with human telehealth interventions include its relative low cost, convenience for the patient, potential for widespread use, anonymity and user acceptability.…”
