ABSTRACT
Introduction: The treatment of multiple sclerosis becomes more and more holistic. The integration and diversity of biomedical, psychological, psychosocial and educational approaches is an essential key in the search of new proposals of strategies and Programs of Integral Neuro-rehabilitation.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a Program of Integral Neuro-rehabilitation designed to improve the quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Material and methods: A longitudinal prospective quasi-experimental study was made in 162 patients that agreed to participate in a National Program of Integral Neurorehabilitation for 6 weeks. The behavior of these patients was analyzed before and after the treatment and evaluated by the Inventory of Quality of Life in Multiple Sclerosis (MSQLI).
Results: There were statistically significant differences in the physical component of the health condition of the patients, in the mental component of health condition and the impact of fatigue.
Conclusions: According to the obtained results, it is shown that the Program of Integral Neurorehabilitation is useful to improve the quality of life in adults with multiple sclerosis, especially the physical, mental components and the impact of fatigue.
