MS21 recommendations to guide the future of MS care: Delphi consensus 2025
This research paper shares an update to earlier work first done in 2013. It looks at what matters most for helping improve life with MS. This research involved a group of 30 people with MS and healthcare professionals coming together to agree on what they thought was most important in the future of MS care. This paper contains all the detail on how this happened and all the results, including a full list of recommendations.
One of the most important results was that people with MS and healthcare professionals agree on the top three needs for the future of MS care:
Fast treatment after diagnosis
Care from many different specialists (supportive care like mental health and physiotherapy)
Better ways to treat “invisible symptoms” (like fatigue, pain, or memory problems that others can’t see but still affect daily life)
More support from MS21
