Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic progressive disease with symptoms that are often difficult to interpret and distinguish from other neurological disorders. These symptoms are discussed together with psychological interventions, physical management and occupational therapies. A review of studies is presented as well as concepts for service provision for MS patients in the NHS. Finally, current practice in an interdisciplinary rehabilitation unit is discussed, and some recent advances in MS treatment are noted.Keywords
