RiMS 2026: Recovery vs Compensation in MS Rehabilitation

Author(s)IJMSC staff

The 31st Annual Rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis Conference took up a question DMTs do not answer: when should treatment aim to restore lost function, and when should it aim to work around it?

Disease-modifying therapy (DMT) has changed the trajectory of multiple sclerosis (MS), but it has not resolved what happens to function that is already lost for people with relapsing MS or to people with progressive disease when DMT effects thin out. That gap is where rehabilitation research operates, and it was the subject of the 31st Annual Rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis (RiMS) Conference, held June 11-13, 2026, in Prague, Czech Republic.
