RESUMO
Aim: To gain insight into current treatment and barriers to optimal treatment for high disease activity relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) in the Netherlands. Materials & methods: A two-round Delphi panel using an online questionnaire was conducted. Seven MS neurologists from diverse locations in the Netherlands were invited to participate. Result: Out of the seven MS neurologists, five completed both questionnaire rounds. Conclusion: Effectiveness and side effects along with patient's lesion load were the most important factors for choosing a disease modifying therapy (DMTs). Respondents felt restricted to optimally treat their patients due to reimbursement restrictions for certain disease modifying therapies, although agreed that satisfactory treatment options are currently available. The answers show consensus between the participating MS neurologists with high certainty of answers.
