Summary

Patients diagnosed with any type of multiple sclerosis (MS) who show objective evidence of attention problems will be randomized to standard medical care (treatment as usual) or attention training, which will be completed at their home using a commercially available attention training task (Cogmed Working Memory Training - CWMT) for 5 weeks. Patients will undergo cognitive testing before and after intervention and at 6 months follow up.

BEHAVIORAL

Cogmed Working Memory Training (CWMT)

The CWMT (Cogmed) method consists of 25 training sessions done online. Each participant assigned to the training group will complete eight exercises for five weeks with five sessions every week. Each session consists of a selection of various tasks that target the different aspects of attention/working memory. Participants will engage in weekly discussions over the phone for about 1 hour with an assigned Cogmed coach who will provide support and encouragement over the 5 weeks.
