<div>Overall, "this review found no evidence to support or refute that external memory aids improved everyday memory function, mood or quality of life for people with MS" (p. 18). Six of the included studies were RCTs, two were before-and-after designs, and one was a single case experimental design. Evidence was poor. More RCTs and single case experimental designs by clinicians are needed.</div>
