Summary

This study tested a short, computerized cognitive assessment in 421 French-speaking adults with multiple sclerosis and healthy controls. The goal was to see if a brief battery of computer tests can reliably detect early cognitive issues, like slowed thinking and memory problems, compared to a longer standard battery. If validated, this could make cognitive screening quicker and more accessible in routine MS care.
