Improvement in word-fluency performance in patients with multiple sclerosis by electromagnetic fields.

摘要: Impairment of cognitive functions is well recognized in patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), especially those a chronic progressive course. In fact, MS has been considered type “subcortical dementia” which and behavioral abnormalities resemble observed frontal lobe syndrome. Patients syndrome are known to exhibit diverse include, among others, diminished spontaneity speech difficulties producing appropriate words phrases.
