ABSTRACT:

Background

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory, demyelinating, and neurodegenerative disease affecting young adults. People with MS are highly interested in engaging in physical symptom management and decision-making but are often not actively engaged in symptom management discussions. Research examining the benefit of shared decision-making in the management of physical MS symptoms is sparse.

Objectives

This study aimed to identify and synthesize the evidence on the use of shared decision-making in physical MS symptom management.

Design

This study is a systematic review of published evidence on the use of shared decision-making in physical MS symptom management.
