Pilot study shows promise for remote cognitive rehabilitation for multiple sclerosis - EurekAlert


This proof-of-concept study, conducted in ten participants with MS-related memory impairments, assessed the feasibility and impact of six online sessions of TELE-Self-GEN delivered via Zoom. TELE-Self-GEN integrates memory strategies within a metacognitive framework to aid individuals in managing their cognitive challenges, according to lead author Yael Goverover, PhD, OTR/L, a professor in New York University’s Department of Occupational Therapy, and a visiting scientist at Kessler Foundation.  Participants reported high levels of satisfaction, citing the convenience and accessibility of the virtual format. Most notably, they experienced improvements not only in memory tasks but also in their ability to perform daily activities.
