About this trial

Non-Inferiority Study, Post-Market Clinical Investigation with a Device, Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial in a Cohort of Patients Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

The aim of the study is to assess whether a computer-based cognitive treatment delivered via telerehabilitation produces effects from T0 to T1 that are not inferior to those of an in-person treatment on sustained attention in a cohort of patients with MS.

The secondary objective is to evaluate the effects of telerehabilitation compared to the same treatment delivered in person on attentional shifting, memory, executive functions, and daily functioning (including cognitive fatigue, quality of life, and mood) in patients with MS.
