About this trial
In the sponsor's words
Patients diagnosed with any type of multiple sclerosis (MS) who show objective evidence of attention problems will be randomized to standard medical care (treatment as usual) or attention training, which will be completed at their home using a commercially available attention training task (Cogmed Working Memory Training - CWMT) for 5 weeks. Patients will undergo cognitive testing before and after intervention and at 6 months follow up.
