Run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT07289724 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will see if a leading interdisciplinary care model can improve coordination, quality, and patient experience for people with MS, their carers, and the teams that treat them.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal participants are adults diagnosed with MS, their carers, and healthcare professionals who work with MS patients and who agree to take part in interviews or focus groups.
✕Probably not a fit
People seeking immediate new medical treatments or direct clinical benefit are unlikely to gain direct health effects from participating, because this is an observational care-model project.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Multiple Sclerosis care is delivered through diverse organizational models across countries, and MUSICALISE aims to define which elements of specialised MS care units (MSCU) deliver the best integrated care. The project will perform in-depth case studies in France and Italy, combine those findings with an international MSCU survey from the European Charcot Foundation, and collect qualitative data through focus groups and individual interviews with patients, carers, and health professionals. Researchers will compare models between and within countries to identify features linked to quality of care and care integration, and will propose a flexible interdisciplinary care model that can be adapted to local contexts. The emphasis is on practical, stakeholder-relevant recommendations rather than testing a clinical intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the project could lead to more consistent, better-coordinated MS services that improve patient experience and reduce gaps in care.
How similar studies have gone: MS care unit models have been implemented in several countries and observational reports suggest improved coordination of care, but high-quality comparative evidence is limited.
