Rehabilitation in MS and the Case for Early Intervention
About this episode
This episode discusses the evolving role of rehabilitation in MS care and the importance of early intervention.
Rehabilitation is more than exercise – it is a personalised process of learning and adaptation that empowers people living with MS to maximise independence, participation and quality of life. In this episode – recorded at ECTRIMS 2025 in Barcelona during the joint ECTRIMS–RIMS meeting – host Brett Drummond speaks with Prof. Roshan das Nair from SINTEF and Dr. Blanca de Dios Pérez from University of Nottingham about the evolving role of rehabilitation in MS care. They explore: · Why rehabilitation should be integrated from diagnosis · The rise of vocational rehabilitation and supporting people to remain in work · Mental health as a core component of MS care · Digital technologies for cognitive screening and personalised triage · The importance of implementation — turning research into real-world care · Moving toward a "community of care" model beyond the clinic As MS care advances, rehabilitation remains essential for translating medical progress into meaningful everyday outcomes.
