Cognitive and motor performance measures are commonly employed in multiple sclerosis (MS) research, particularly when the purpose is to determine efficacy of treatment. The increasing focus new therapies on slowing progression or reversing neurological disability makes utilization sensitive, reproducible, valid essential. Processing speed a basic elemental cognitive function that likely influences downstream processes such as memory. Multiple Sclerosis Outcome Assessments Consortium (MSOAC)...
Objective: To examine whether processing speed or working memory is the primary information deficit in persons with MS. Design: Case-control study. Setting: Hospital-based specialty clinic. Participants: 215 adults clinically definite Main Outcome Measure: Mean demographically corrected T-scores, prevalence rates of impairment and relative risk impaired Processing Speed Working Memory Index Scores from WAIS–WMS III. Results: Deficits were much more common than all comparisons. This was...
The need for more robust outcomes in multiple sclerosis (MS) clinical trials has been a main priority of the field decades. Dissatisfaction with existing measures led to several consensus meetings and initiatives over past few decades hopes defining gaining acceptance that are valid, reliable, sensitive change progression, most importantly, relevant those living MS. Multiple Sclerosis Outcome Assessments Consortium (MSOAC) was formed this purpose.The objective paper is describe results MSOAC...
Speed of information processing was assessed in patients with multiple sclerosis and healthy controls using both an auditory visual task designed to control for accuracy performance across groups. After controlling performance, were found have significantly slower speed relative controls, irrespective the modality stimulus presentation (auditory or visual). When given adequate amount time process information, however, performed similarly controls. These results suggest that persons...
Abstract The present study was designed to examine whether verbal memory impairment in multiple sclerosis (MS) is attributable impaired information acquisition or compromised retrieval. Twenty-three MS and 23 control subjects were administered a 10-item list-learning task. Subjects trained specific criterion on the test order assure equal acquisition. Following 30-min delay, retrieval recognition performance evaluated. required significantly more trials reach task relative controls, but...
<h3>• Objective.</h3> —To compare the cognitive performance of subjects with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), multiple sclerosis (MS), and healthy controls. All were matched for age, education, verbal intelligence, as previous neuropsychological studies CFS had not used appropriate control groups. <h3>Design.</h3> —Case-control design. given a battery test scores compared among <h3>Setting.</h3> —Subjects MS recruited from private institutional practice community.

Abstract This study examined whether verbal and visual memory impairments in multiple sclerosis (MS) are attributable to deficits acquisition, storage, or retrieval. Volunteers with MS (n = 40) healthy controls 20) rehearsed a word list checkerboard pattern using selective reminding procedure until two consecutive error-free trials were attained. Recall recognition assessed after 30 min 90 (and 1 week for material) delays. The group required significantly more attain criterion on both...
