Cognitive impairment in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) is now well recognized. One of the most common cognitive deficits is found in memory functioning, largely due to impaired acquisition. We examined functional brain activity 6 months after memory retraining in individuals with MS. The current report presents long term follow-up results from a randomized clinical trial on a memory rehabilitation protocol known as the modified Story Memory Technique. Behavioral memory performance and brain activity of all participants were evaluated at baseline, immediately after treatment, and 6 months after treatment. Results revealed that previously observed increases in patterns of cerebral activation during learning immediately after memory training were maintained 6 months post training.
多发性硬化症(MS)患者的认知障碍现已得到充分认识。最常见的认知缺陷之一存在于记忆功能方面,这主要是由于记忆获取受损所致。我们对MS患者进行记忆再训练6个月后检查了其大脑功能活动。本报告呈现了一项关于一种名为改良故事记忆技术的记忆康复方案的随机临床试验的长期随访结果。在基线、治疗后即刻以及治疗后6个月对所有参与者的行为记忆表现和大脑活动进行了评估。结果显示,在记忆训练后即刻学习期间观察到的大脑激活模式增加在训练后6个月得以维持。
