Full study name & original research details

Official study title

Effectiveness of TeleNEUROrehabilitation Systems for Timely and Personalized Interventions and Vigilant Care in Neurodegenerative Conditions: the FIT4TeleNEURO Pragmatic Trial

Short title used by the registry

TeleNEURO-Rehabilitation Systems for Neurodegenerative Conditions: the FIT4TeleNEURO Pragmatic Trial

Original description

The goal of the FIT4TeleNEURO pragmatic trial is to verify, in real-life care contexts, the superiority in terms of the effectiveness of early rehabilitation intervention with Telerehabilitation (TR) protocols (TR single Approach, task-oriented - TRsA; TR combined approach, task-oriented and impairment-oriented - TRcA) compared to conventional management (Educational treatment, ET). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Are Telerehabilitation protocols more effective than educational treatment? * Is the TRcA treatment more effective than the TRsA? The study investigates the effects of rehabilitation treatment by comparing the two target cases (Multiple Sclerosis - MS and Parkinson's Diseases - PD). Participants will be subjective to: * 3 time-point of assessment (baseline, post-treatment and follow up) with motor, cognitive and quality-of-life measures * A 5-weeks rehabilitation treatment (4 times/week)

Conditions reported: Parkinson Disease; Multiple Sclerosis; Neurologic Diseases, General
