Multiple Sclerosis l: Introduction01:19

Multiple Sclerosis l: Introduction

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that affects the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. It is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder and a leading cause of neurological disability in young adults.EpidemiologyMS commonly begins between 20 and 40 years of age and is twice as common in women. Its exact cause remains unclear, but genetic susceptibility contributes, with higher risk in first-degree relatives and identical twins. A greater...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Technology

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease impacting the central nervous system (CNS).
  • MS affects nearly 3 million people globally, causing cognitive impairment, physical disability, and reduced quality of life.
  • Technological innovations show potential for supporting individuals with chronic conditions like MS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize evidence on technological solutions for supporting people with MS.
  • To explore technology's role in disease management and daily living for MS patients.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search across major databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL).
  • Adherence to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
  • Inclusion of 49 studies investigating various technological interventions.

Main Results:

  • Diverse technologies were studied, including mobile apps, websites, video games, wearables, and virtual reality.
  • Technologies addressed key MS domains: fatigue, cognition, mental health, motor function, physical activity, medication adherence, and communication.
  • Interventions aimed to support assessment, self-management, health literacy, and telerehabilitation.

Conclusions:

  • Technological solutions are increasingly vital for MS assessment and self-management.
  • Continued research is crucial for developing, adopting, and ensuring the long-term effectiveness of these technologies.
  • Sustainable self-management of MS can be promoted through optimized technological support.
