Study overview
Cognitive dysfunction is common in many different clinical conditions, including multiple sclerosis (MS). Little is known about the impact of cognitive dysfunction where it matters most — in the lives of people with these conditions. This study is designed to examine the cognitive function in people with MS. We expect that the knowledge gained in this study will lead us to new insights about how to measure cognitive functioning in daily activities and improve the quality of life of people with MS.
