Relation between cognitive function and physical activity in multiple sclerosis patients treated with interferon beta-1b – the CogniPlus study

Updated 02.03.2016

Background: Maintaining cognitive function in multiple sclerosis is a major concern. It is a priority to identify factors that can help preserve cognition, in addition to formal treatment. Physical activity has been suggested as a possible positive influence on cognition.

Objective: The aim of the CogniPlus longitudinal study is to investigate the relationship of PA and cognitive function in interferon beta-1b treated patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS).

Conclusion: Our data confirm earlier reports from crosssectional studies which found an association between cognition and PA. Longitudinal assessment in CogniPlus will further characterize the relation of cognitive function with PA, and may help improve advice to patients about behaviours that may help preserve cognitive function.
