#136: Cognitive Rehabilitation in MS – From Research to Everyday Relevance. An ECTRIMS 2025 Special

In this episode, I explore five exciting studies from ECTRIMS 2025 that reveal how cognitive training, mindfulness, and smart rehab planning can support brain function and independence in people with MS.

Cognitive changes affect a large percentage of people with multiple sclerosis—yet they often remain invisible or unspoken. This episode focuses on new, science-backed strategies to strengthen thinking skills, reduce stress, and even promote brain reorganization.

🧠 What's inside:

I highlight 5 research posters presented at ECTRIMS 2025:

  1. Digital brain training boosts memory and reshapes brain activity.

  2. Multisensory integration improves with targeted cognitive exercises.

  3. Mindfulness-based group programs reduce fatigue, anxiety, and stress.

  4. Goal setting in rehab matters – and needs to be measurable.

  5. Digital testing may detect early cognitive decline, even remotely.

💡 These findings offer practical insights into how non-pharmacological interventions can support everyday life with MS.

📚 Referenced Studies

All posters were presented at the ECTRIMS 2025 Congress. For detailed summaries, check out the blog post: https://ms-perspektive.com/136-cognitive-rehab
