Summary
This pilot study will test whether a musical tool called Ipsilon can screen for and possibly improve cognitive function in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Thirty-two participants will either use the Ipsilon for 15 minutes daily for a week or start with no intervention, then switch. The results will be compared to standard cognitive tests to see if the musical approach is reliable and beneficial.
