Brief Summary

"This study investigates the feasibility of tele-rehabilitation combined with targeted training for cognitive enhancement in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic illness that affects the central nervous system, often resulting in cognitive impairments that significantly impact quality of life. Tele-restoration provides an accessible and effective method for delivering therapeutic interventions, particularly beneficial for those with mobility limitations.

Detailed Description

The study was a randomized controlled trial with multiple sclerosis patients divided into two groups: one receiving tele-rehabilitation-based task-specific training and the other receiving conventional care. The mediation group participated in structured cognitive training sessions conducted using a tele-rehabilitation platform, focusing on tasks designed to enhance memory, attention, and executive functions. Psychological assessments were conducted during the mediation period to measure improvements.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale	12 Months	The MoCA scale is a comprehensive tool designed to evaluate various cognitive domains, including attention and concentration, executive functions, memory, language, visuospatial skills, conceptual thinking, calculations, and orientation. It provides a detailed assessment of cognitive performance, making it an ideal measure for tracking cognitive improvements in MS patients participating in the tele-rehabilitation and task-specific training programs.
