摘要: It has long been recognized that cognitive impairment occurs in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) particularly among a chronic progressive course. MS is considered type of “subcortical dementia” which and behavioral abnormalities resemble those observed frontal lobe syndrome. The Bicycle Drawing Test employed for the neuropsychological assessment specifically mechanical reasoning visuographic functioning. also provides clues concerning patient's organizational skills are subserved by lobes. Extracerebral pulsed applications picotesla flux intensity electromagnetic fields (EMFs) have shown to improve functions MS. I present three standing symptoms who, on initial baseline, pretreatment Test, exhibited manifested omissions essential details deficient skills. All patient...
