About

Approximately 65% of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients appear to have problems in their cognitive function. Long-term memory is one of the most frequently affected functions in MS patients. Many factors play a role in the deterioration of cognitive functions because of many symptoms of MS.

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of cognitive function with physical factors such as balance, functional exercise capacity and personal factors such as fatigue level, mood, sleep quality in patients with MS.

Full description

Patients with MS between 0-5,5 score according to the Extended Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and healthy individuals of similar age and sex to patients will be included in the study. The cognitive function, balance, functional exercise capacity, fatigue, mood, sleep quality will be evaluated once.

Investigators will use descriptive statistics and t-tests to compare variables between groups. Investigators will examine the correlations between variables using Pearson bivariate correlations. The significance level is set at p<0,05.
