International Journal of MS Care

IJMSC The International Journal of MS Care (IJMSC) is the official journal of the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC), Rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis (RIMS), the International Organization of Multiple Sclerosis Nurses (IOMSN), and the International Organization of Multiple Sclerosis Rehabilitation Therapists (IOMSRT).Through international and multidisciplinary cooperation and communication, the editors hope to improve the quality of care for patients with MS.


The IJMSC publishes peer-reviewed articles in areas of interest to MS health-care professionals. Topics include neurological, nursing, rehabilitative, psychological, and psychosocial care and quality-of-life issues of people with MS and reflect the diversity of the journal's readership. Categories of manuscripts considered include original research, clinically relevant reviews of the literature, case reports, consensus statements, controversies, book reviews, and letters to the editor.  Click here to go to the IJMSC site (http://ijmsc.org)
