An innovative approach to involving MS clinicians in research

A key aim of the of the "Therapists in MS" (TiMS) Research Project Team is to support and facilitate clinically relevant research. An innovative approach to research was recently undertaken wherein members of the group developed and implemented a series of single case studies to explore the effectiveness of core stability training in people with MS with moderate disability levels. The TiMS Research Project Team co-ordinated 5 physiotherapists from 5 UK centres to each undertake 2 single case studies. A standardised study protocol, training days, and ongoing support and guidance to the local novice researchers was provided throughout the research process. A description and evaluation of the process was presented both at the MS Trust Annual Conference in 2009, and at The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy in 2010
