Music-4-MS to Improve Cognition in People Living With Multiple Sclerosis: A Feasibility Study (NCT07759115)
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Music-4-MS Compared to Music Listening to Improve Cognition in People Living With Multiple Sclerosis: A Feasibility Study
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) rates in the U.S. have nearly doubled over the past decade, making it a leading cause of nontraumatic functional impairment in young adults and significantly affecting cognitive function in up to 70% of people with MS. While traditional cognitive rehabilitation methods are limited in sensory engagement, music training offers a multisensory approach that enhances neuroplasticity and improves cognitive functions. This study investigates the feasibility of Music-4-MS, a 12-week music-based eHealth intervention, to support cognitive and emotional health in individuals with MS.
