Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in Quality of Life in Neurologic Disorders (NeuroQoL) Scores [Week 4, Week 22]
The NeuroQoL short form will be used for this study, which consists of 5 statements on how much difficulty one currently has during certain activities. Each statement is answered on a scale of 1 (cannot do) to 5 (none); the total range of score is 1-25. The higher the score, the less difficulty one has.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in SymptoMScreen (SyMS) Scores [Week 4, Week 22]
SyMS consists of 12 questions. Participants are asked to choose a response that best describes how each MS symptom has affected everyday life activities. Each questions is answered on a scale of 0 (not affected at all) to 6 (total limitation/I'm unable to do most daily activities); the total range of score is 0-72. The higher the score, the higher the limitation from MS symptoms.
- Change in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: MS (WPAI:MS) Scores [Week 4, Week 22]
There are 2 questions that are quantifiable - they pertain to how much MS has affected one's productivity while working or ability to do regular daily activities. The questions are answered on a scale of 0 (no effect) to 10 (complete prevention); the total range of score is 0-20. The higher the score, the higher the level of prevention.
