45 people responded to my first  blog-posting and so the researchers asked that I again post as they would like more people to complete their research questionnaire




MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS SYMPTOMS RESEARCH STUDY


Researchers in the Physical Activity and Behavior Lab at the University of Massachusetts Amherst are currently recruiting individuals with MS for a study of MS symptoms. 

This is a voluntary study that is testing a new comprehensive symptom questionnaire to determine how well it is able to measure the severity, frequency, and distressfulness of MS symptoms. 

The study can be completed by mail or online and participants will be compensated for their time and effort. Participants in the study must have a definite diagnosis of MS and be between 20-70 years old. 

Anyone interested in more information should contact Dr. Erin Snook by email esnook@kin.umass.edu or telephone (413) 545-6007
