Anthony Feinstein: Testing Cognition in Real World Situations

Patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis may feel their cognitive abilities slip in their everyday lives but without the proper testing their level of impairment may not be properly diagnosed.

Anthony Feinstein, MD, PhD discussed the importance of checking reaction times to things like a ringing phone in determining the level of cognition on a daily basis that patients are experiencing outside the clinic. Feinstein discussed this topic during the annual meeting of the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers in Maryland.
