- Original description
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease and a leading cause of reduced workforce participation due to neurological illness in Western countries. Over the past 30 years, new treatments have reduced symptom burden, allowing patients to stay in the workforce longer. However, fatigue and cognitive impairments remain major barriers to work capacity. This project aims to preliminary examine the impact of cognitive function on work ability, and assess the role of neuropsychologists in multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams. It consists of a feasibility study evaluating the integration of neuropsychological interventions into teambased work-oriented rehabilitation.

Improving Workforce Participation and Well-Being in Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis- A Feasability Study
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease and a leading cause of reduced workforce participation due to neurological illness in Western countries. Over the past 30 years, new treatments have reduced symptom burden, allowing patients to stay in the workforce longer. However, fatigue and cognitive impairments remain major barriers to work capacity. This project aims to preliminary examine the impact of cognitive function on work ability, and assess the role of neuropsychologists in multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams. It consists of a feasibility study evaluating the integration of neuropsychological interventions into teambased work-oriented rehabilitation. The specific research questions are:
1. How can neuropsychological interventions be integrated into team-based work-oriented rehabilitation? 2. How do these interventions relate to work ability and well-being in individuals with MS? The investigators plan to collect data on 20 consecutively patients with MS before, 6 months after and 2 years after a neuropsychological testing and intervention. The patients are being followed on measures related to well-being and work ability. Data from the neuropsychological assessment, other rehabilitation interventions as well as data related to treatment and progress of MS are also collected.
Our findings aim to enhance work-oriented rehabilitation and provide a deeper understanding of how to support individuals with MS in maintaining employment and overall well-being
