Cognitive impairment is a common but under-diagnosed symptom in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Cognitive impairment is important to consider as it can have a big impact on quality of life (QoL) for people with MS and, although easily identified in clinic with simple cognitive tests, these are not routinely done. From a nursing perspective, it is important to be aware of how to manage cognitive impairment in MS. Jennifer Slough and Wallace Brownlee explain.
