Abstract EN
Introduction.
Cognitive impairment (CI) affects 40–65% of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Few studies address telematic cognitive stimulation (TCS) in MS.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and impact of telestimulation or distance cognitive stimulation (TCS), with and without the support of face-to-face cognitive stimulation (FCS) in cognitive impairment in MS.
Methods.
Multicentre, prospective, randomised, controlled study.
We will include 98 MS patients with EDSS ≤ 6, symbol digit modality test (SDMT) ≤ Pc 25, and Multiple Sclerosis Neuropsychological Screening Questionnaire (MSNQ) > 26 points.
Patients will be randomised into 3 groups, a TCS group, a mixed TCS/FCS group, and a control group.
CS is performed 3 days a week for 3 months.
Processing speed, memory, attention, and executive functions will be rehabilitated.
FCS will include ecological exercises and strategies.
EDSS and a cognitive evaluation (SDMT, CTMT, PASAT, and TAVEC), MSNQ, psychological impact scales (MSIS), and depression (BDI) will be carried out, baseline, postrehabilitation, and also 6 and 12 months later, to evaluate the effect of CS in the longer term.
Conclusion.
This study could help to establish the usefulness of TCS or, in its absence, TCS with face-to-face help for CI in MS.
The interest lies in the clear benefits of remote rehabilitation in the daily life of patients.
