Although the cognitive symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) were acknowledged in the 1800s, until the latter part of the 20th century, these symptoms were poorly recognized. Cognitive impairment associated with MS has a profound impact on many aspects of daily life, including employment, academic life, and social functioning. The cognitive reserve can be protected in MS patients to a certain limit, and prevention might be linked to early treatment. The analyses of historical and contemporary data can help researchers gain a clear vision of the direction in which to proceed in the future for better insight into cognitive issues in MS.
尽管多发性硬化症(MS)的认知症状在19世纪就已被认识到,但直到20世纪后期,这些症状才得到充分认识。与MS相关的认知障碍对日常生活的许多方面都有深远影响,包括就业、学术生活和社交功能。MS患者的认知储备在一定程度上可以得到保护,预防可能与早期治疗有关。对历史和当代数据的分析可以帮助研究人员清楚地了解未来的研究方向,以便更好地洞察MS中的认知问题。
