Sleep and Cognitive Function in Multiple Sclerosis

Conclusions: < /h3 > < p id="d7e166" > Among patients with MS, obstructive sleep apnea and sleep disturbance are significantly associated with diminished visual memory, verbal memory, executive function (as reflected by response inhibition), attention, processing speed, and working memory. If sleep disorders degrade these cognitive functions, effective treatment could offer new opportunities to improve cognitive functioning in patients with MS. < /p > < /div > < div class="section" > < a name="d7e168" > < !-- named anchor -- > < /a > < h3 class="section-title" > Commentary: < /h3 > < p id="d7e171" > A commentary on this article appears in this issue on page 1489. < /p > < /div > < div class="section" > < a name="d7e173" > < !-- named anchor -- > < /a > < h3 class="section-title" > Citation: < /h3 > < p id="d7e176" > Braley TJ, Kratz AL, Kaplish N, Chervin RD.
