Calling all Health Care Professionals: Investigating Evidence-Based Practices in Occupational Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis

MS Ireland launched the results of the comprehensive “My MS My Needs” survey on World MS Day at a briefing in the AV Room of Leinster House to Oireachtas members, all eager to deepen their understanding of the challenges faced by the over 10,000 individuals living with MS in Ireland.

In early 2023, MS Ireland undertook a comprehensive survey aimed at delving into the experiences and needs of young adults aged 18 to 35 living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The survey, which 126 people responded to, sought to gauge awareness of and engagement with MS Ireland, experiences at the time of diagnosis, challenges faced, and suggestions for improvement. 

Alanna Denny, a PhD candidate from University College Cork is conducting a research study to understand the lived experiences and perspectives of medication adherence in people with MS in the Republic of Ireland. 

University College Limerick conducted a study with the aim of gaining consensus on a core outcome set for evaluating mixed diagnosis falls prevention interventions for people with Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease and Stroke.
