Abstract EN
Cognitive impairments are common in MS and affect personal, social, and occupational functioning.
There is a developing body of evidence highlighting the role of cognitive rehabilitation, but there is still no evidence for a validated holistic approach.
The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of Cognitive Occupation-Based Programme for People with Multiple Sclerosis (COB-MS) for improving daily life and cognitive impairment.
This study used an experimental pretest/posttest design with eight-week follow-up.
Participants were recruited from MS networks using convenience sampling.
The primary outcome measure was the GAS.
Secondary outcomes included the OSA-DLS, CVLT-II, BVMT-R, SDMT, TMT, BRIEF-A, and EMQ-R.
Twelve participants were recruited, aged 39–73 years (mean: 55.08; SD: 9.61).
There were statistically significant improvements in the GAS (p<.002), CVLT-II: total free recall (p<.000), short delay free recall (p<.018), long delay free recall (p<.008), BVMT-R total recall (p<.000), TMT part B (p<.044), and EMQ-R (p<.006).
Except for the BRIEF-A, clinically significant improvements were observed in secondary outcome measures at posttest and follow-up.
Limitations include selection bias and subtle practice effects in cognitive measures.
Results suggest that a larger scale study is justified considering improvements seen in daily life and cognitive measures.
