Abstract

Aim: Multiple Sclerosis or MS is a chronic and destructive disease of the central nervous which has also become increasingly prevalent in the last two decades and has devastating impact on cognitive processes in patients. Therefore, this study aimed to compare different types of memory in MS patients and healthy individuals. Method: In the present study, an ex post facto causal-comparative research design was used in order to compare variety types of memory in the patients with a healthy group. In this regard, memory performance of 37 patients with MS (26 females and 11 males) and 37 healthy people (24 females and 13 males) was evaluated and compared by using Prospective/ Retrospective Memory Questionnaire (PRMQ). Results: The results of multivariate analysis of variance and Scheffe's post-hoc test indicated that in all types of memory; Prospective / Retrospective, Short-term/Long-term, and Allocentric / Egocentric Memory, MS patients (men and women) had more errors than healthy individuals (P<0.05). Also there were no differences in the all types of memories between healthy men and healthy women. Conclusion: The present study was obtained the evidence of different types of memory dysfunction in males and females with MS disease.
