Abstract

Globally, the number of people suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS) is more than two million, and MS is characterized by increasing symptom development over time. The socio-economic costs are enormous. Therefore, effective management of MS is of great importance. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation (MR) seeks to prevent and stop loss of function and trains the patients to deal with symptoms and challenges that will arise in the future. Because there is a need for high-quality evidence of the effectiveness of MR, the MS hospitals in Denmark have initiated the largest study of its kind on MR.
