Neuropsychological testing is very important in MS, as the disease can progress in secret and should be tackled at an early stage.

Multiple sclerosis can affect walking ability and movement, but invisible symptoms such as cognition play at least as big a role and should be monitored through neuropsychological testing and assessed over time. This is because aids and structural modifications can also enable people with a walking impairment to access work and participate in everyday life, but if you can no longer concentrate, understand contexts or follow conversations, it becomes much more difficult to compensate. That’s why today I want to talk about the importance of neuropsychological tests and what exactly they measure, based on my own experiences.
Table of Contents- What is measured in neuropsychological tests and when are they useful?
- Is it possible to prepare for such tests?
- My conclusion
- Thanks to the team at the MS Center Dresden
- What experience have you had with neuropsychological testing?
What is your situation? Have you already had neuropsychological testing and if so, in what context? How did you feel about the test itself and did it have any consequences for your treatment? Or have you been consciously training certain skills since then? Please let me know and write to me.
---By the way, next time I will be welcoming Prof. Christoph Heesen from the University Hospital Hamburg Eppendorf as a guest in the interview. We’ll be talking about a subject close to his heart, shared decision making. What is it all about? What requirements must be met? And what advantages and disadvantages are associated with it?
See you soon and try to make the best out of your life, Nele
