NEUROLOGIC AND NEUROCOGNITIVE FEATURES OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS IN CHILDREN

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。这项研究的目的是确定与健康儿童相比，多发性硬化症儿童是否存在认知障碍。目标1利用MS确定导致儿童和青少年旷课的主要因素；目标2确定MS儿童和青少年的情感、认知、神经和精神特征之间的相互关系；目标3确定MS儿童和青少年的精神功能障碍的性质和程度。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of this study is to identify whether there are areas of cognitive impairment in children with multiple sclerosis as compared to healthy children. Goal #1 identify major factors contributing to missed school days in children and adolescents with MS. Goal #2 define the inter-relations of emotional, cognitive,neurologic and psychiatric features among children and adolescents with MS. Goal #3 and determine the nature and extent of psychiatric dysfunction in children and adolescents with MS.
