Impairments of attention in RRMS patients: the role of disease duration.

Introduction: The extent to which different types of attention are affected in RRMS based on disease duration has not been extensively analyzed. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether MS patients differ compared to healthy individuals in a homogeneous sample of RRMS patients in terms of attention types and from which year of MS attention deficit starts. Another aim of the study was to examine the effect of MS duration and stimulus onset asynchrony on dual task performance.
