      Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, leading to functional and social disabilities and worsening of the quality of life of these individuals. The aim of this study was to verify the quality of life and degree of functional impairment of MS patients. This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study. The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL - BREF) was used to evaluate quality of life and the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) for the evaluation of disabilities. Thirty four individuals with MS were evaluated, with a mean age of 41.14 years, predominantly female (61.76%). Of this sample, 76.47% had recurrent and recurrent clinical forms and 17.65% had a secondary progressive form; the mean EDSS was 2.95. It is concluded that in this group studied there are points of correlation between quality of life and the incapacities resulting from the disease. ; A esclerose múltipla (EM) é uma doença crônica inflamatória e desmielinizante do sistema nervoso central, levando a incapacidades funcionais e sociais e piora da qualidade de vida dos indivíduos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a correlação entre a qualidade de vida e o grau de acometimento funcional de paciente com EM. Trata-se de um estudo do tipo transversal, descritivo e quantitativo. Foi utilizado a The World Health Organization Qualityof Life (WHOQOL - BREF) para avaliação da qualidade de vida, e a Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) para avaliação das incapacidades. Foram analisados 34 indivíduos com EM, com média de idade de 41,14 anos e com predomínio do gênero feminino (61,76%). Dessa amostra, 76,47% apresentaram a forma clinica remitente-recorrente, e a média da EDSS foi de 2,95, com pontos de correlação estatisticamente significante entre EDSS e WHOQOOL-BREF. Conclui-se que nesse grupo estudado existem pontos de correlação entre a qualidade de vida e as incapacidades decorrentes da doença.
