summary: In MS the perception of symptoms and how they impact quality of life varies significantly from one person to another. The perceived response to treatment, including rehabilitation, may also differ. In this article the authors aimed to evaluate a newly developed set of tests (called PRIMUS) which takes into account MS symptoms in a holistic way, from the point of view of the person with MS. The authors concluded that scores obtained from PRIMUS are reliable and very useful in detecting how the disease impacts on the person with MS.
