This study outlines the development of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Sets for multiple sclerosis (MS). These standardized sets will improve research and clinical practice for MS functioning and rehabilitation.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Neurology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Evaluating the impact of multiple sclerosis (MS) on individuals and treatment effectiveness increasingly focuses on functioning.
  • The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a global framework for classifying functioning and its environmental context.
  • ICF Core Sets are disease-specific selections of ICF categories to capture key aspects of functioning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the development process for the ICF Core Sets for Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
  • To establish standardized measures for assessing functioning in individuals with MS.
  • To provide useful standards for both MS research and clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review of parameters reported in MS studies.

Related Experiment Videos

  • A qualitative study involving focus groups and interviews with individuals with MS.
  • An expert survey with international health professionals.
  • An empirical cross-sectional study.
  • Integration of evidence from these preparatory studies at an ICF Core Set Consensus Conference.

    • Main Results:

    • The preparatory studies are designed to gather comprehensive evidence on functioning in MS.
    • The consensus conference will define the specific ICF categories for the MS Core Sets.
    • The development process aims for robust, evidence-based ICF Core Sets for MS.

    Conclusions:

    • The ICF Core Sets for MS are being developed to standardize the assessment of functioning in multiple sclerosis.
    • These sets will enhance the evaluation of MS impact, treatment, and rehabilitation.
    • The defined ICF Core Sets will serve as valuable tools for research and clinical application in MS care.
