Brief Summary

Cognitive disorders are common in early stage of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and concern mainly information processing speed (IPS) which also influences with other cognitive functions such as attention, working memory and executive functions. The investigators validated a computerized test of IPS, the computerized speed cognitive test (CSCT), which can detect disorders of IPS in MS. A short battery was proposed, the brief cognitive assessment for multiple sclerosis (BICAMS) battery, which combines the Symbol-Digit Modalities-test (SDMT), a test of the IPS, and two measures of episodic memory. On the same principle, the investigators propose to validate a short computerized battery to improve the feasibility (brief computerized cognitive assessment (BCCAMS)) combining the CSCT and a computerized test of visual episodic memory. Purpose: to establish the screening value of a brief computerized cognitive assessment (BCCAMS) combining the computerized speed cognitive test (CSCT) and a new computerized episodic visual memory test (CEVMT) in French-speaking patients with multiple sclerosis as compared to a reference battery (MACFIMS).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Prediction by the z score BCCAMS of cognitive impairment (at least two tests MACFIMS battery <1.5 SD of control subjects

    average z scores of CEVMT and CSCT

    At the inclusion (Day 0)

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Determine values of neuropsychological tests in healthy according to age subjects, gender and the level education

    At the inclusion (Day 0) and at 1 and 6 months after the inclusion (Day 0)

  • Ability of the CEVMT to detect episodic memory deficiencies in patients with multiple sclerosis, as compared to established tests of episodic memory

    At the inclusion (Day 0) and at 1 and 6 months after the inclusion (Day 0)

  • Correlation between alternate forms of the CEVMT and the Brief visual memory test-revised (BVMT-R)

    At the inclusion (Day 0) and at 1 and 6 months after the inclusion (Day 0)

  • Prediction between cognitive impairment and occupational status/leisure activities

    At the inclusion (Day 0) and 6 months after the inclusion (Day 0)

  • Effect of possible confounders on results of cognitive testing, including depression, mood, anxiety and fatigue

    At the inclusion (Day 0) and at 1 and 6 months after the inclusion (Day 0)
