Background/objectives: Overall priorities of the international pediatric-onset spinal cord injury (SCI) population are unknown. The purpose was to describe and compare Life and Health (L&H) domain overall priorities of European youth with SCI and their parents and caregivers (P&C).
Methods: A survey with a cross-sectional design, prepared by the PEPSCI Collaboration, was conducted in six European countries.

Background: The Brief International Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis (BICAMS) is the most widely used in clinical practice and the least time-consuming battery to estimate cognitive function in adults with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), while it has been included in few studies on young MS, also because of the absence of normative values.
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of age, sex and education on BICAMS scores in a young adolescent population.
Methods: We administered the BICAMS to 169, 11-to-18-year-old, healthy subjects.

Objective: Cognitive impairment affects approximately 30% of pediatric onset Multiple Sclerosis (POMS) patients with a negative impact on everyday life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a home-based, computer-assisted training of attention in patients with POMS.
Methods: This was a randomized double-blind study.

Background: Epidemiological data of pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS) in the Middle East is limited.
Objective: To determine the demographic and clinical characteristics of POMS in Kuwait.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to assess the clinical characteristics of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients who disease onset started at age < 18 years and fulfilled the International Pediatric MS Study Group (IPMSSG) criteria for MS.

Background And Objectives: Recent studies suggest that the choroid plexus (CP) may function as a site of access of inflammatory cells into the CNS in multiple sclerosis (MS). Pediatric-onset MS (POMS) is characterized by a high inflammatory burden, as evidenced by a high relapse rate and volume of T2 lesions, making patients with POMS an informative population to evaluate choroid plexus volume (CPV). The objectives of the study were (1) to evaluate CPV at symptom onset in participants with POMS compared with healthy controls (HCs); (2) to evaluate changes in CPV in the first year of disease in participants with POMS; and (3) to evaluate associations between CPV, brain volumes, relapse activity, and disability in participants with POMS.
