    Area of Science:

    • Epidemiology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease.
    • Understanding the long-term impact of MS on patients is crucial for developing effective support strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the clinical and socioeconomic status of multiple sclerosis patients in Southern Lower Saxony.
    • To identify unmet needs in vocational rehabilitation and psychotherapeutic care.

    Main Methods:

    • Epidemiological survey and clinical examination of 92 patients with definite or probable multiple sclerosis.
    • Analysis of neurological deficits, employment status, pension status, and socioeconomic situation.
    • Assessment of family dynamics and coping mechanisms.

    Main Results:

    • A high percentage (52%) of benign multiple sclerosis cases were identified.
    • Spasticity and paresis were the most common neurological disturbances.
    • After a mean of 18.4 years, 52% of patients received a pension, 30% were employed, and 42% experienced family stress.

    Conclusions:

    • The study highlights a significant proportion of benign multiple sclerosis cases in the region.
    • There is a clear need for enhanced vocational rehabilitation and psychotherapeutic interventions.
    • Improved ambulant services and family support are essential for managing multiple sclerosis patients' quality of life.
