We have been approached by a researcher from Kings College London about a study being funded by the MS Society to see if any of our members would like to take part. They have sent the following information;
Help us co-design a new support tool for managing bowel symptoms
We are inviting adults living with Multiple Sclerosis and carers who support someone with MS to take part in a research study exploring experiences of bowel symptoms and how support could be improved.
Who can take part?
- Adults aged 18+
- Diagnosed with MS for at least 6 months
- Experiencing (now or in the past) bowel symptoms such as constipation, urgency, or leakage
- Carers whose family member/friend with MS meets these criteria
- This study is open to people across the UK because all sessions take place online.
What does the study involve?
- A one-to-one online interview (90–120 minutes)
- Optional video recording (audio-only available)
- Online feedback workshops to discuss experiences
- Co-design sessions to help create a new self-management resource
Why take part?
Your experiences and insights are essential in helping us design a resource that better supports people with MS in managing bowel symptoms. By taking part, you can help influence future care and support for others facing similar challenges.
