Cognitive impairment is now well-known in multiple sclerosis (MS).
However, few rehabilitation interventions are proposed or really efficient.
OBJECTIVES: To present a review of cognitive rehabilitation intervention research
conducted in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), regarding different findings
about episodic memory, working memory, attention and executive function disorders
in MS. DATA SOURCES: A search of Medline (yield 20 papers) and of PsychInfo
(yield 1 article), using combinations of the following terms: cognitive
rehabilitation, multiple sclerosis, cognitive therapy, neuropsychological
rehabilitation, in the title or in the abstract, from 1960 to March 2010,
excluding animal studies. RESULTS: Episodic memory rehabilitation studies appear
to be promising. Programs on working memory, attention and executive functions
are in the very early phases. CONCLUSIONS: Results are encouraging and allow
specific recommendations for future research about: (1) inclusion criteria, often
not defined, (2) a specific baseline adapted to the program of rehabilitation,
(3) a control measure regarding program efficiency and (4) a role for the
psychologist (presence and advice during the program).
