Rehabilitative Protocols in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis Treated with Anti CD20 Monoclonal Antibodies

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) patients have usually a worsening clinical course and it remains unclear if rehabilitation can indeed slow down the progression of the disease. Recently, clinical studies demonstrated that a treatment with monoclonal antibodies against B lymphocytes can have a positive effect on the progression of disability. Therefore now the investigators have, in this phase of the disease, a treatment that can impact the clinical course, even if the effect is not complete. The present study project has the aim to verify if, in progressive MS treated with monoclonal antibodies, a high technology rehabilitative protocol added to an intensive rehabilitation program is more effective on the motor recovery, in particular of the upper limb, as compared to an intensive traditional scheme of rehabilitation and to a passive treatment therapy, Moreover, the MRI functional reorganization of the central nervous system will be evaluated as well as the duration of the rehabilitative effect.
