<div>There is evidence to support the efficacy of memory rehabilitation compared to no treatment for individuals with MS. Effects favoring memory treatment were found for subjective memory, objective memory, visual memory, working memory, and quality of life at various time points (i.e., immediate, intermediate, longer-term follow up). Little to no differences between groups were found on the effects of memory rehabilitation on improved activities of daily living.</div>
