Abstract
The article discusses a pilot study which examined whether telephone counseling increases reinitiation of disease modifying therapy (DMT) among nonadherent multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. It states that several patients were assigned with Motivational Interviewing/Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MI-CBT) or Treatment as Usual (TAU). Results showed that the treatment satisfaction with MI-CBT was high.
