Abstract

Cognitive impairment is a common phenomenon in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), occurring at all stages of the disease, even at the earliest, and can be a major source of disability, social impairment, and impoverished quality of life. Cognitive dysfunction is mainly focused on working memory, conceptual reasoning, verbal fluency, speed of information processing, attention and executive functions. Additional clinical factors, including the progression of the disease, fatigue and affective disturbance, can impact the degree of MS-related cognitive impairment [1,2].
