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.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Control Group	The control group receives standard care, which includes routine medical management and general physical rehabilitation exercises. This involves regular consultations with healthcare providers and exercises aimed at maintaining mobility and physical function. The control group also follows a schedule of three 45-minute sessions per week for 12 weeks, ensuring a consistent comparison with the experimental group.
COMBINATION_PRODUCT	Experimental Group	The experimental intervention involves tele-rehabilitation-based task-specific training to enhance cognitive functions in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. This program includes cognitive exercises targeting memory, attention, executive function, and processing speed, conducted remotely via a tele-rehabilitation platform. Patients participate in three 45-minute sessions per week for 12 weeks. Each session is guided by a trained therapist, ensuring personalized support and real-time feedback.
