Study of mental flexibility with verbal fluidity in patients with multiple sclerosis

Through these lines, we wanted to highlight mental flexibility with verbal fluidity in patients with multiple sclerosis. This disease is beginning to gain magnitude in our society especially among women, we also noticed in hospitals that the age group affected is increasingly younger; the after-effects left by this disease prevent this category of society from enjoying a pleasant and full life. To carry out this study, we used the TMT tracking test to measure mental flexibility and a rapid battery to assess verbal fluidity, on a sample of cases, all with sclerosis, ages between 20 and 50 years old, who were pursuing their treatment at Mustafa Pasha University Hospital in the capital, Algiers. After analyzing the results, we identified difficulties at the level of the mental flexibility function, as well as difficulties at the level of verbal fluidity in people with sclerosis. The results obtained after applying the BREF battery to measure verbal fluidity and the TMT test to measure mental flexibility show that the first hypothesis that verbal fluidity is impaired in people with multiple sclerosis has been confirmed. The second hypothesis, which states that there is impairment in mental flexibility in people with multiple sclerosis, was proven for the first two cases, but not for the third case.
