The aim was to determine the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation for everyday memory function in patients with multiple sclerosis. A total of 60 multiple sclerosis patients with cognitive impairment were randomly assigned to three groups, experimental, placebo and control. The groups were well matched in baseline characteristics. Everyday memory was assessed at baseline immediately post-intervention (8 weeks) and five weeks post-intervention. The experimental group received cognitive rehabilitation programme in 1-hour sessions on a weekly basis for 8 weeks. The placebo group received relaxation techniques on a weekly basis for eight weeks and the control group received no intervention. The results indicated that a cognitive rehabilitation programme had a positive effect on the everyday memory of patients in the experimental group post-intervention. However, there was no significant effect of intervention 5 weeks post-intervention. The present study demonstrated that cognitive rehabilitation had a positive effect on the everyday function of the multiple sclerosis patients. However, the effect did not last and that everyday memory function returned to its pre-intervention level.
目的在于确定认知康复对多发性硬化症患者日常记忆功能的有效性。共有 60 名认知障碍的多发性硬化症患者被随机分为三组，实验组、安慰剂组和对照组。三组在基线特征上匹配良好。在基线时、干预后即刻（8 周）和干预后 5 周评估日常记忆。实验组每周接受 1 小时的认知康复计划，共 8 周。安慰剂组每周接受放松技术，共 8 周，对照组不进行任何干预。结果表明，干预后实验组患者的日常记忆认知康复计划有积极影响。然而，干预后 5 周时没有显著效果。本研究表明，认知康复对多发性硬化症患者的日常功能有积极影响。然而，这种效果并不持久，日常记忆功能恢复到干预前的水平。
