Profile of Adherence to Therapy and Interventions to Promote Adherence in MS

Three types of intervention will be used: a) Interventions aimed to dealing with cognitions and habits will be based on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) principles. b) Interventions aimed to dealing with affective factors that interfere with adherence will be based on dynamic therapy, crisis intervention and supportive elements. c) In the case of condition-related or therapy related barriers to adherence, psycho-educational multidisciplinary interventions of 1-2 appointments will be offered. Education about injection techniques and about reasonable expectations from therapy, and from MS itself, are a key strategy to successfully maintaining adherence.
