While metabolic changes and cognitive impairment are known to be present in multiple sclerosis (MS) from the earliest stage of the disease, no exhaustive examinations have been performed to assess potential relationships between metabolite levels and cognitive status. Our study aimed to investigate whether magnetic resonance spectroscopic markers in normal appearing brain tissues are related to cognitive status in multiple sclerosis.
