Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the CNS that due to cognitive impairment, can reduce the quality of life in these patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate effect of computerized cognitive rehabilitation on prospective & working memory function in Multiple Sclerosis patients. 46 MS patients aged 20–40 who have the inclusion criteria, were randomly assigned to experimental and waiting-list control groups. Experimental group trained for 12 session with a Memory rehabilitation software and waiting-list control group did not receive any intervention and training of this group was postponed after conducting research. Daneman and Carpenter's capacity working memory and Retrospective-Prospective Memory Scale was applied at pretest, posttest, and follow-up. The results of repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant difference between the means of working memory in experimental and waiting-list control groups. Also, the results of the present study indicate that a significant difference between the means of prospective memory in experimental and waiting-list control groups. Moreover, the post-test and follow-up scores in the experimental group was not statistically different. So Computerized cognitive rehabilitation have significant effect on prospective and working memory performance in patients with Multiple sclerosis and it can be used as an effective and helpful method to improve memory performance of these patients.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on logical memory and problem solving skill in people with multiple sclerosis. The research design was a quasi-experimental type with pretest-posttest and control group. The statistical population included all the individuals with multiple sclerosis of Ahvaz in 2018. Thirty of the patients were selected through purposive sampling and randomly divided into experimental and control groups, each congaing 15 subjects.  They were then tested using the Wechsler Memory Scale –III and The Problem-Solving Inventory. Participants in the experimental group received ACT protocol in 6 sessions at 120-minute. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance and SPSS-21 software. The results showed the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy to improve logical memory and problem solving skills in the experimental group. Therefore, clinical MS specialists can use this treatment to enhance logical memory and problem solving skills in patients with MS.

Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, the symptoms of which include a wide range of clinical symptoms, including cognitive impairment. In the present study, the effectiveness of the Rehacom rehabilitation training program based on the comprehensive model of cognitive impairment (based on the comprehensive model developed by Hazratty et al. 1403, which refers to four cognitive variables that are impaired in MS, namely: attention deficit, working memory, information processing, and fatigue, based on a systematic review) on improving cognitive impairments in people with MS was investigated. Method: This is a quantitative and applied research, and in terms of the design, it is an experimental research of the pre-test-post-test type with a control group and a follow-up after one month of the experimental group. After coordination with the Alborz MS Association, 30 people with MS were enrolled.The patients with relapsing-remitting type S were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). Then, using research tools, a pre-test (PASAT, SDMT and FSS tests) was administered to both experimental and control groups, and the Rehacom training program protocol was set up in 8 sessions. These sessions were held weekly (two sessions per week) and each session lasted 40 to 60 minutes. During the sessions, training was given through Rehacom computer cognitive tasks to improve cognitive variables. Findings: The results of the study showed that the Rehacom rehabilitation training program was effective and it seems that these training sessions were effective in improving attention deficit, working memory, information processing and fatigue.And this improvement in post-test scores and then follow-up test results in the experimental group was stable after one month. Conclusion: Given the wide range of cognitive disorders and deficiencies caused by MS, a cognitive rehabilitation training program that can include the cognitive deficiency variables of the comprehensive model and improve these cognitive variables will greatly help MS patients. The Rehacom rehabilitation program was able to improve these deficiencies well during the training sessions and its results remained stable. The results of this study can attract the attention of researchers to planning cognitive treatments
