Abstract

Cognitive impairments, prevalent in 43–70% of pwMS, significantly affect daily functioning and QoL, yet no approved pharmacological treatments exist. Cognitive re-education (CR) emerges as a promising non-pharmacological intervention aimed at improving cognitive performance and fostering adaptive strategies. This systematic review will explore the role of CR in addressing cognitive impairments in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) and its impact on quality of life (QoL) and psychological well-being.
