Patients with primary progressive and transitional progressive multiple sclerosis exhibit significant cognitive deficits compared to healthy individuals. Cognitive impairment in these multiple sclerosis forms is moderately linked to MRI findings, suggesting a complex cause.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Primary progressive (PP) and transitional progressive (TP) multiple sclerosis are rare forms of MS with limited research on cognitive function.
  • Previous studies indicated no significant cognitive differences between PP and TP MS groups.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate cognitive skills in PP and TP multiple sclerosis patients compared to matched healthy controls.
  • To examine the relationship between cognitive impairment and MRI parameters in these MS subtypes.

Main Methods:

  • Sixty-three patients (43 PP, 20 TP) were matched with healthy controls for cognitive assessments.
  • Neuropsychological tests included Rao's brief repeatable battery, a reasoning test, and depression measure.
  • Brain MRI (T1 and T2-weighted) was performed on patients.

Main Results:

  • PP and TP MS patients performed significantly worse than controls in verbal memory, attention, verbal fluency, and spatial reasoning.
  • An impairment index showed moderate correlations with T2-lesion load (r=0.45), T1-hypointensity load (r=0.45), and cerebral volume (r=-0.35).

Conclusions:

  • PP and TP multiple sclerosis patients experience significant cognitive dysfunction.
  • The moderate correlation with MRI parameters suggests a complex, multifactorial etiology for cognitive impairment in these MS forms, not fully explained by conventional MRI findings.
