Description of the research topic:

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease characterized by the demyelination of nerve fibers and axonal damage. Based on scientific data from the recent years, it is accepted that many of the patients are affected by cognitive decline and other psychological dysfunctions. These additional symptoms can influence the quality of life of patients as much like transitional physical symptoms in the early stage and permanent neurological deficit in the late stage of the disease. Our study aims to explore the neuropsychological status of MS patients from the MS Center in the Department of Neurology, University of Pécs. We plan to perform a long-term follow up of the patients. We also plan in a number of patients special MR ivestigations (tractrography, 31P spectroscopy etc.). Our additional goal is to explore possible predictive cognitive factors and the relationship between disease activity and psychological changes.

Number of students who can be accepted: 1
