Abstract:
Objective To explore the role of cognitive rehabilitation in improving cognitive dysfunction of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods Forty patients with MS, admitted to our hospital from September 2008 to October 2010, were chosen; neuropsychological tests were employed to evaluate the neurobehavioral cognitive status, executive capacity and overall cognitive function, and patients with MS were treated with cognitive rehabilitation. The differences of neurocognitive function scores in these patients before and after treatment were compared. Results The results showed that the scores of full intelligence quotient (FIQ) after therapy was higher than those before therapy (P＜0.05); the neurological status of behavior was improved, and the scores of memory, language, dealing with information, and judgment after therapy were significantly higher than those before treatment (P＜0.05);significant difference on implement function was also noted between that before and after therapy (P＜ 0.05). Conclusion The rehabilitation could improve the impairment of cognitive function in patients with MS, including IQ, neurobehavioral cognitive status, executive functions, which is meaningful in clinical application for treating and bettering the living conditions in patients with MS.
