Speed of Processing Training to Improve Cognition in Multiple Sclerosis

NCT02301260 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 100

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effectiveness of a computerized technique designed to improve processing speed (i.e. the amount of time it takes for a person's brain to process information) in a multiple sclerosis (MS) population. The study is designed to study how well this technique can help people with MS increase their processing speed and their ability to function better in everyday life. This treatment protocol has been studied extensively with older adults, showing improvements on standard laboratory measures of processing speed and performance of activities of daily living.
