multiple sclerosis functional composite as a measure of the effects of heat in multiple sclerosis
conclusions the results suggest that the msfc could be used as a simple tool to detect the negative effects of heat in patients with ms. results in the ms group the average msfc scores were -0.48 (sd 0.79) at baseline, -0.99 (sd 1.97) during heat exposure and -0.68 (sd 1.58) after a one-hour delay. the average msfc scores of the hc group were 0.58 (sd 0.42) at baseline, 0.66 (sd 0.43) during he...
متن کاملThe Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite Measure (MSFC): an integrated approach to MS clinical outcome assessment. National MS Society Clinical Outcomes Assessment Task Force.
Clinical outcome assessment in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is challenging due to the diversity and fluctuating nature of MS symptoms. Traditional clinical scales such as the EDSS are inadequate in their assessment of key clinical dimensions of MS (e.g. , cognitive function), and they have psychometric limitations as well. Based on analyses of pooled data from natural history studies and from placeb...
متن کاملThe multiple sclerosis functional composite: a new clinical outcome measure for multiple sderosis trials.
With the advent and widespread use of partially effective disease modifying drug therapies for multiple sderosis (MS), future dinical trials will undoubtedly test experimental interventions against standard therapy, or will test combinations of drugs against standard therapy. In either case, incremental progress in slowing disability progression in future MS dinical trials will require much lar...
متن کاملSystematic literature review and validity evaluation of the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and the Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC) in patients with multiple sclerosis
BACKGROUND There are a number of instruments that describe severity and progression of multiple sclerosis and they are increasingly used as endpoints to assess the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions. We examined to what extent the psychometric properties of two accepted instruments--EDSS and MSFC--meet methodological standards and the value they have in clinical trials. METHODS We con...
متن کاملThe multiple sclerosis functional composite: a clinically meaningful measure of disability.
BACKGROUND The Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC) provides a focused and sensitive evaluation of disability in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) that may be more responsive to change than that provided by the Expanded Disability Status Scale. EXPERT CLINICAL OPINION The MSFC is a 3-part quantitative instrument that measures arm, leg, and cognitive function with the 9-Hole Peg ...
