ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how neuropsychological disorders affect people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Specifically, it focuses on MS patients who have these disorders compared to those who do not. The goal is to understand the impact of these conditions on cognitive (thinking) and emotional health, as well as physical movement.

If you’re between the ages of 65 and 88, speak French, and have a specific type of MS called relapsing-remitting MS (with a mild level of disability), you may be eligible to participate. As a participant, you would undergo a routine assessment that includes tests for thinking skills and emotions, a physical examination, and a detailed analysis of your movements. It’s important to note that you should not have taken certain medications recently or have any serious health issues that would affect your participation. This study is currently recruiting participants, and your involvement could help improve understanding of how MS affects mental and physical health.
