Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that presents complex challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Over the years, there have been advancements in our understanding of the disease, but difficulties in early diagnosis, neuropsychological assessment, and patient management continue to be significant barriers.
This Special Issue focuses on the challenges and advancements in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of MS patients, with a particular emphasis on cognitive and neuropsychological aspects. The goal is to bring together research on innovations in neuropsychological testing, the role of primary caregivers, and the impact of biomarkers on clinical decision-making.
Research on vulnerable populations, occupational challenges in neurodegenerative diseases, and the latest advancements in diagnostic biomarkers are encouraged. This Special Issue aims to present innovative studies that could transform intervention strategies and improve patient outcomes.
We invite researchers, clinicians, and experts in neuropsychology, rehabilitation, and biomarkers to submit their latest studies. We are seeking papers that explore both innovative approaches and unresolved challenges in MS to advance knowledge and treatment of the disease.
