Multiple Sclerosis: The Year in Review
Cognitive training for MS patients
In 2017 researchers decided to tackle this problem head on and developed an online training program that was tailored to MS patients in improving and recovering their cognitive functions. Researchers used 135 participants with varying levels of MS to determine if the training program was effective. The results were very promising, with many participants exhibiting vastly improved cognitive function after just a few weeks on the program. This meant that MS patients had a cheap and convenient way to mitigate cognitive issues caused by MS. Researchers hope that the training program can be further developed and more widely distributed in 2018.
