Studying Eye Movement Deficits and Cognitive Impairment in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis Using Infrared Eye Tracking and Cognitive Tests

Sponsor: Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to study the relationship between cognitive problems and problems in eye movements in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the correlation between eye movement parameters (VDI AUC and VDI Pv/Am, left and right) and SDMT scores in patients with MS? * What is the number of patients with VDI AUC\>1.174 and/or VDI Pv/Am\>1.180 assessed by infrared oculography during prosaccades at 15 degrees left or right? * What is the correlation between eye movement parameters (VDI AUC and VDI Pv/Am, left and right) and cognitive test scores in patients with MS? Participants will perform specific cognitive tests and eye movements will be measured through infrared oculography. The primary hypothesis for the study is: participants who exceed the treshold (VDI AUC\>1.174 and/or VDI Pv/Am\>1.180, left or right) will perform worse on cognitive tests compared to those who don't.
