Unemployment is particularly common among women with multiple sclerosis (MS). This study uses a vocational rehabilitation program involving neuropsychological testing as an intervention. The use of in-person feedback and case management following neuropsychological testing is compared to phone feedback only. Adherence to treatment and employment outcomes will be evaluated over three years.
Employed women at a tertiary-care MS center were screened for common issues impacting work productivity (fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, and depression). Women who met screening criteria were randomized to one of two treatment groups: either neuropsychological testing and phone feedback to review findings and tailored recommendations (standard-care treatment); or neuropsychological testing, in-person feedback, and two calls from a care-coordinator (experimental treatment). Adherence to recommendations and employment status at one year are evaluated. Follow-up periods also occur at year two and year three.
3,264 studies on the registry are indexed under Multiple Sclerosis; 659 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 89 is above the median of 50 across 2,201 interventional studies indexed under Multiple Sclerosis.
