Experiences of disease-modifying treatments in patients with multiple sclerosis – a qualitative study
The patients' described experiences and hopes for personalized treatment plans, procedures, and feedback on DMT outcome implicate the need for further development of person-centred interventions. Development of such care interventions should consider the patients' perspectives on e.g., treatment preferences and procedures, social support, and the professionalism and expert-knowledge of MS care team professionals. The knowledge derived from this study may also inform the development of patient-reported experience- and outcome measures regarding daily life with DMT in MS.
