Successful long-term management of spasticity in patients with multiple sclerosis using a software application (APP): A pilot study.

Background: Spasticity is a very common syndrome in patients with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), but available treatments lead to sufficient symptom control only in one third.

Objective: To investigate the impact of an individualized training program on improving spasticity in a prospective pilot trial in pwMS suffering from moderate spasticity (defined as ≥ 4 on a normative rating scale; NRS).

Methods: PwMS were familiarized with predefined exercises targeting spasticity while undergoing inpatient rehabilitation (IR).
