Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Tailored Follow-up for Persons With Multiple Sclerosis to Optimize Physical Functions, Health and Employment: a Prospective Single-blinded Randomized Controlled Trial
Employment is low in people with MS, even when physical levels of functioning are high. The purpose of this study is to investigate if an individually tailored intervention combining individualized physiotherapy and work adaptation works better than usual care in terms of reducing barriers for work and improving levels of physical activity. The utility of the intervention will be investigated in terms of quality adjusted life years, long-term employment status and work-related costs.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Multiple Sclerosis Work Difficulties Questionnaire -23 Norwegian version | How frequently individuals with MS perceive psychological/cognitive (11 items), physical (8 items), external, (4 items) barriers related to work, scored by a 5-point scale (0=best). | Baseline, 9, 16 and 52 weeks post baseline | |
Primary | Levels of physical activity measured using ActiGraph wGT3x-BT monitors | % of time in mild, moderate, intensive physical activity and sedate time | Participants will wear device for one week after testing at baseline and at 9, 16 and 52 weeks post baseline | |
Secondary | 6 meter walk test | Walking distance (meters) within six minutes | Baseline, 9, 16 and 52 weeks post baseline | |
Secondary | Step count using ActiGraph wGT3x-BT monitors | Daily average number of steps | Participants will wear device for one week after testing at baseline and at 9, 16 and 52 weeks post baseline | |
Secondary | Fatigue Severity Scale -Norwegian version | Self-report, 9 items: physical, social and cognitive effects of fatigue, scale:1-7 (high score indicates higher levels of fatigue). | Baseline, 9, 16 and 52 weeks post baseline | |
Secondary | Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale-12 | Self-reported perception of walking, 12 items, score on a 5-point scale. Higher score indicate higher impact of MS on the individuals walking ability. | Baseline, 9, 16 and 52 weeks post baseline | |
Secondary | Mini Balance Evaluation Systems Test (MiniBESTest) | Pro-and reactive balance, dual task and involving sit to stand, standing and walking, 14 items on a 3-point scale. Higher score indicate better performance. | Baseline, 9, 16 and 52 weeks post baseline | |
Secondary | Trunk Impairment Scale-modified Norwegian version (TISmodNV) | Trunk control in sitting. 6 items, score on a 2- or 3-point scale, sum range 0-16 points. Higher score indicates higher levels of trunk control. | Baseline, 9, 16 and 52 weeks post baseline | |
Secondary | Postural control measured by AccuGait Optimized force platforms | Measures postural control in standing, tandem, one-leg standing: postural sway of center of pressure. | Baseline, 9, 16 and 52 weeks post baseline | |
Secondary | European Quality of Life 5-Dimension (EQ-5D-5L) + Complementary questions | Self-perceived HRQoL regarding five domains, and a VAS scale (0-100) on overall health. Complementary questions on sleep, wellbeing, emotions, social relations (advocated by the Norwegian Health Institute). Higher score indicate better self-perveived health. |
Baseline, 9, 16 and 52 weeks post baseline | |
Secondary | Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale 29-Norwegian version | Self-perceived physical (13 items), psychological (9 items) impact on HRQoL, a 5-point scale. Higher score indicate increased impact of MS on the individuals day-to-day life. | Baseline, 9, 16 and 52 weeks post baseline | |
Secondary | Patient Global Impression of Change - physical activity and balance | A global index that is used to rate the response of a condition to a therapy (transition scale). Higher score indicate improvement. | Baseline, 9, 16 and 52 weeks post baseline |
