Higher Education Moderates the Effect of T2 Lesion Load and Third Ventricle Width on Cognition in Multiple Sclerosis
BACKGROUND Previous work suggested greater intellectual enrichment might moderate the negative impact of brain atrophy on cognition. This awaits confirmation in independent cohorts including investigation of the role of T2-lesion load (T2-LL), which is another important determinant of cognition in MS. We here thus aimed to test this cognitive reserve hypothesis by investigating whether educatio...
متن کاملCognitive reserve in multiple sclerosis.
Cognitive impairment is common among persons with multiple sclerosis (MS), but some patients are able to withstand considerable disease burden (e.g. white matter lesions, cerebral atrophy) without cognitive impairment (cognitive inefficiency, memory decline). What protects these patients from cognitive impairment? We review the literature on cognitive reserve in MS, which shows that heritable (...
متن کاملP 73: The Effect of Hypnotherapy and Cognitive Therapy in Management of Multiple Sclerosis Pain
Multiple sclerosis is a severe disorder of the central nervous system. This chronic and progressive disease involves unpredictable episodes of inflammatory attacks. It can cause functional limitations, disability and reduced quality of life. Pain is a common and significant problem in lots of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). And it is inversely correlated with aspects of life quality in ind...
متن کاملBrain atrophy: an in-vivo measure of disease activity in multiple sclerosis.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) has traditionally been considered to be primarily an inflammatory demyelinating disorder. Nowadays it is recognised as both an inflammatory and a neurodegenerative condition. This recognition is reflected in the development of new disease-modifying therapies that may offer the potential to reduce axon damage, either by inhibiting neurodegeneration or by promoting endogen...
متن کاملEvidence for a direct association between cortical atrophy and cognitive impairment in relapsing-remitting MS.
Cognitive deficits affecting memory, attention and speed of information processing are common in multiple sclerosis (MS). The mechanisms of cognitive impairment remain unclear. Here, we examined the association between neuropsychological test performance and brain atrophy in a group of mildly disabled patients with relapsing-remitting MS. We applied voxel-based morphometry (SPM2) to investigate...
