A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a computer-based cognitive treatment delivered through telerehabilitation compared to in-person treatment for patients with multiple sclerosis. It is a non-inferiority, single-blind randomized controlled trial that focuses on sustained attention and other cognitive functions. The study includes patients diagnosed with relapsing-remitting, primary progressive, or secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, and assesses various cognitive disorders. The aim is to determine if telerehabilitation can provide similar benefits to traditional in-person therapy.
