Brief Summary

This project aims to study whether a structured wellness program intervention can improve quality of life among people living with Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD). This pilot will test a multi-modal wellness program tailored to NMOSD patients that includes services from physical therapists, dietitians, social workers, nurse practitioners and cognitive therapists. The trial will be designed as a randomized controlled trial, randomizing patients to immediately starting the program as well as a 6 month delayed start. The intervention would leverage an existing clinical comprehensive MS wellness program at the Corinne Dickinson for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) at Mount Sinai Medical Center. The primary endpoint of this study would be evaluating quality of life, as assessed by MS-Quality of Life -54.
