Testing the Feasibility of Computer-based Cognitive Training in Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis Living in the Community (NCT06608797)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Cognitive impairments are common in multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosed both at the onset and throughout the disease course. Poor cognitive abilities have been associated with poor outcomes such as higher levels of unemployment, poor quality of life, driving difficulties among others. Learning and memory are a common cognitive deficit. This computer-based cognitive training is a 10-session treatment proven to be effective in ameliorating learning and memory in individuals with MS across 3 realms of functioning: objective cognitive performance, daily life activities and neuroimaging. Despite this strong efficacy, as well as the recent clinical application of this computer-based cognitive training across the world, recent in-person studies have highlighted that transportation to the clinic to complete treatment sessions is a significant obstacle to clinical use of this effective treatment. To address this limitation, the proposed pilot study will test the efficacy of the computer-based cognitive training administered remotely via zoom health in persons with multiple sclerosis.
