Language Memory Test Assessment in People with MS

This study plans to evaluate a new Language Memory Test (LMT) for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) by assessing its utility against established cognitive tests. It aims to gather data from adults with MS and compare their scores to those of healthy adults matched by age, gender, and education. Follow-up assessments are scheduled at one week and one year after the initial test.

findingsTo this end, we are administering the test to a group of 100 individuals with MS who are receiving treatment at the National MS Center Melsbroek.\n\nThese data will allow us to determine whether scores on the new test correlate with those of established cognitive tests.
