The Tanner
Center and Foundation for MS in Birmingham, AL – was fortunate to have been awarded
a PCORI grant for Alabama and Mississippi researching direct rehabilitation
services versus tele rehabilitation services for persons with MS.
A
$5.8 million study of whether patients get as much benefit from an
exercise-based rehabilitation program delivered via Internet or telephone as
when the therapy is provided in a clinic. Evidence shows that exercise, yoga,
and other such therapies can alleviate symptoms and improving function, but
clinics that can provide such services are scare in rural and low-income areas.
The trial, led by a research team based at the University of Alabama at
Birmingham, will be conducted in Alabama and Mississippi.
