Cognition and multiple sclerosis: diagnosis and management

This book on cognitive disorders in multiple sclerosis is intended for health professionals and medical students interested in this condition and its countless symptoms. The cognitive manifestations of multiple sclerosis, long considered invisible, are the source of a double handicap (mental, in addition to motor). They are highly varied and polymorphous, requiring specialized neuropsychological exploration by professionals (neurologists, neuropsychologists and speech therapists) trained in their management. Different phenotypes have been identified, enabling us to optimize treatment, which can be drug-based (with encouraging recent data on the efficacy of certain so-called high-efficacy treatments) or non-drug-based, using alternative cognitive rehabilitation techniques that are becoming increasingly well understood. Knowing how to diagnose and treat these disorders is essential in the overall management of young patients, still too young, with many plans for the future.Key words: MS, cognition, phenotypes, remediation.
