| Scientific title | Randomised Controlled Trial on the effectiveness of a Dutch patient advocacy case management intervention among severely disabled Multiple Sclerosis patients |
| Study acronym | CMMS |
| Study objectives | 1. People with Multiple Sclerosis who receive care by a case manager experience a better quality of life and quality of care compared with people with MS who receive care as usual. 2. Caregivers of people with Multiple Sclerosis who receive care by a case manager experience a better quality of life compared with caregivers of people with MS who receive care as usual. 3. Healthcare cost for people with MS will increase during the first year in which they receive case management; in the long term costs will decrease. |

| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Multiple sclerosis (MS) |
| Intervention | Patients will be randomised to 1. Case management: consisting of home visits twice a year by a Nurse practitioner or Nurse specialist MS. During the home visit the neurological examination is performed and the health status (physically, mentally and socially) of the person with MS is investigated as well as the impact of the disease on the lives of the person with MS and his/her caregiver. Based on this investigation a care plan will be developed. Realisation of the goals set in the care plan is monitored by the case manager. 2. Control group: People with MS receive care as usual. They will visit their Neurologist at the outpatient clinic once or twice a year (or more if indicated). Both groups consist of 50 persons with MS and 30 caregivers. The intervention will take place during 15 months. |
