Abstract |
Background |
Cognitive impairment is frequent in multiple sclerosis (MS), affecting approximately 40 to 70% of patients. We developed a psycho-educational program (ADACOG program) to allow patients to cope with cognitive deficits. The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate the impact of the ADACOG program on subjective self-reported cognitive impairments, quality of life, anxiety, depression and self-esteem in MS patients.
Methods |
ADACOG program is a psycho-educational program focusing on cognitive and emotional dysfunctions in MS consisting of three modules in small groups lasting two hours every two weeks. Forty-five MS patients with self-reported cognitive impairments and objective cognitive deficits were enrolled consecutively in two groups: (i) the ADACOG group (N=24) and (ii) the control group (N=21). Both groups of patients completed questionnaires evaluating self-reported cognitive impairments (Multiple Sclerosis Neuropsychological Screening Questionnaire), quality of life (Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale), anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, HAD) and self-esteem (Rosenberg Scale) at inclusion (M0), one month later (M1) and seven months after inclusion (M7). The evolution of outcomes within ADACOG group and between both groups was analyzed.
Results |
The analyses within the ADACOG group showed that patients reported better quality of life and fewer anxiety symptoms at M1 compared to M0 (respectively P=0.03 and P=0,04). Moreover, patients presented less subjective self-reported cognitive deficits at M7 compared to M0 (P=0.003). Score evolution for HAD depression and self-esteem were not significant within the ADACOG group. The change M1-M0 for MSIS-29 and HAD anxiety scores was significantly different between both groups (respectively P=0.04 and P=0.008), with improvement of quality of life and anxiety in the ADACOG group. The evolution of scores between groups was not significant for the other outcomes.
Discussion |
This study showed a small effect of a psycho-educational program focusing on cognitive and emotional disorders in MS patients with subjective self-reported cognitive deficits and objective cognitive deficits. Interest of psycho-education focusing on cognition in MS patients is discussed.
