Brain Functional Connectivity Changes Following Cognitive Rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis: an fMRI Study

September 11, 2014 updated by: Mohammad Ali Sahraian, Sina Hospital, Iran
This trial seeks to investigate brain network changes following cognitive rehabilitation in MS patients. The investigators hypothesize that rehabilitation interventions improve connectivity in the brain.Novel Magnetic Resonance Imaging technique is performed to investigate changes in brain plasticity.
