Statement of Need
Cognitive impairment (CI) is common in patients with MS and contributes substantially to disability, loss of employment, and declines in quality of life, yet CI remains underrecognized. CI is increasingly being evaluated in clinical trials of MS therapies, and emerging evidence regarding cognitive effects of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) and the relationship between CI and other features of MS progression may have important implications for MS management.
This live question and answer session is your opportunity to ask questions based on the CME Outfitters virtual symposium where expert faculty focused on the prognostic factors that should be considered when developing treatment plans for patient with MS, as well as the latest clinical data on approved and emerging DMTs.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Apply clinical data on efficacy and safety of recently approved therapies to individualized treatment decisions for patients with MS.
- Incorporate cognitive assessment into routine monitoring for patients with MS.
- Evaluate emerging data on the effects of MS therapies on cognition.
The following learning objectives pertain only to those requesting CNE credit:
- Examine clinical data on efficacy and safety of recently approved therapies for individualized treatment plans for patients with MS.
- Describe how to incorporate cognitive assessment into routine monitoring for patients with MS.
- Evaluate emerging data on the effects of MS therapies on cognition.
