Abstract

Introduction: Comprehensive neurorestoration in Multiple Sclerosis improves functional deficits.  The assessment of health-related quality of life, which is a key element for the subjective evaluation of the influences of the current state of health, has been included in the care of people with the disease.

Objective: To determine the influence of comprehensive neurorestoration on the health-related quality of life of patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.

Material and Methods: A quasi-experimental study was carried out in 78 patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis treated at the "Arnaldo Milián Castro" Clinical-Surgical University Hospital in Santa Clara, in the period between January 2014 and December 2020. The patients were randomly assigned to a study group and a control group.

Results: Regarding activities of daily living, the study group showed a mean of 95.89 at the end of the intervention, while the control group showed a mean of 81.28. After the intervention, an improvement in the functioning of the health-related quality of life of the study group was evidenced in the components of the scale, compared with the controls.

Conclusions: It was determined that the development of interventions through comprehensive neurorestoration promote the best possible well-being of patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
