Cognitive Impairment in Multiple Sclerosis: Past, Present, and Future.

Cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis (MS) is common and can have negative effects on quality of life. The clinical presentation can be more subtle and insidious. ⋯ Recent evidence supports that relapses affect cognition in a similar pattern to other physical relapse symptoms and may be the only symptom of a relapse. Regular screening using validated tests for PwMS will improve the care provided and quality of life of PwMS.

AbstractCognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis (MS) is common and can have negative effects on quality of life. The clinical presentation can be more subtle and insidious. Thus, cognitive impairment is often underrecognized by both persons with MS (PwMS) and clinicians, leading to underestimation disability due to MS. Recent evidence supports that relapses affect cognition in a similar pattern to other physical relapse symptoms and may be the only symptom of a relapse. Regular screening using validated tests for PwMS will improve the care provided and quality of life of PwMS.Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
