Theory of mind in multiple sclerosis: Three-month follow-up effects after double-blind tDCS and video-training, a pilot study
ToM training seems to be useful in improving cognitive and verbal affective ToM in PwMS, especially when combined with prefrontal tDCS. However, nonverbal affective ToM appears resistant to intervention, suggesting the need for targeted strategies. These preliminary findings support a personalized, multimodal approach to social cognitive rehabilitation in MS.
