Sumario:The clinical manifestations of Multiple Sclerosis are motor, sensitive, cerebellar and cognitive alterations. It evolves with a high degree of physical and cognitive disability. The “EM-line! Project” has its origins in the need to provide effective treatment for cognitive problems given that a gap in cognitive treatment was detected, especially at the onset of the disease. For this reason, the main objective of the “EM-line! Project” was: To supply free cognitive rehabilitation materials that do not interfere in the professional activity of the patients for use at home from the onset of the disease. Patients participated in a 26 week prospective, randomized, single-blind intervention study and patients were found to improve specifically in the areas of visual memory (learning and long term memory), executive functions (working memory and access to vocabulary), attention, processing speed, and naming ability. The “EM-line Project” is effective in improving cognitive disorder in multiple sclerosis patients.
