About this trial
In the sponsor's words
Within the framework of improving the quality of life for patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), this prospective and descriptive study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a therapeutic education program. The program, designed specifically for MS patients, includes individual sessions to identify needs, fears, and questions, followed by targeted educational workshops. These workshops address understanding the disease, managing bladder and sphincter issues, fatigue management, and psychological well-being, relying on a multidisciplinary team including physiotherapists, neurologists, psychologists, urologists, occupational therapists, nurses, and nutritionists. The primary goal is to assess the impact of this program on the quality of life of patients, measured by the MSQOL-54 questionnaire, with secondary measures such as the Urinary Handicap Scale (M.H.U). Fifty patients will be recruited from the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Rabat University Hospital, Morocco, with follow-ups planned at 3 and 6 months. This program aims to provide patients with the knowledge and skills necessary for better management of their condition, thereby promoting active participation in treatment and a significant improvement in their quality of life.
