Multiple sclerosis is a degenerative disease and is the leading cause of non-traumatic disability in young adults. The most recent prevalence studies indicate that, in Spain, the frequency of the disease has increased progressively over the last few decades, and currently stands at 80-180 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.

The first symptoms of this disease usually begin at around 25-30 years of age, causing both physical and cognitive disability, symptoms that directly affect the quality of life of these patients. This is why it is vitally important to develop and study effective rehabilitation programmes that help to prevent and reverse the cognitive and physical symptoms that many of these patients present.

The company UTÒPIC has developed, in collaboration with the ImagoBrain research group of the Universitat Jaume I and the Multiple Sclerosis Association of Castellón, a virtual reality programme aimed at rehabilitating the cognitive and motor functions of this clinical population in parallel. The study is part of the project "Neuro-rehabilitation and functional recovery in multiple sclerosis (MS): evaluation of two therapeutic strategies using functional magnetic resonance imaging", funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities to measure its effectiveness and aims to promote a real improvement in the physical and cognitive state of patients and increase, in the short and long term, their quality of life.
