Living with multiple sclerosis can lead to a wide variety of symptoms. Among those that could impact quality of life are communication issues, according to a new study.
A team of scientists from Australia’s University of Sydney reviewed online questionnaires from 260 people with MS to evaluate whether they experienced any changes that affected their ability to communicate. The study authors found that the majority of participants — 75.8 percent — said they had experienced communication changes, such as:
- Language changes
- Cognitive shifts
- Speech changes (known as dysarthria)
- Voice issues
- Fluency changes
