Journal Article
A widespread pattern of cortical activations in patients at presentation with clinically isolated symptoms is associated with evolution to definite multiple sclerosis.
Maria A. Rocca,Domenico M. Mezzapesa,Angelo Ghezzi,Andrea Falini,Vittorio Martinelli,Giuseppe Scotti,Giancarlo Comi,Massimo Filippi +7 more
TL;DR: In patients with clinically isolated syndromes suggestive of MS, the extent of early cortical reorganization following tissue injury might be a factor associated with a different disease evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study protocol: improving cognition in people with progressive multiple sclerosis: a multi-arm, randomized, blinded, sham-controlled trial of cognitive rehabilitation and aerobic exercise (COGEx)

Chiaravalloti,Ulrik Dalgas,John DeLuca,John DeLuca,Peter Feys,Massimo Filippi,Jennifer Freeman,Cecilia Meza,Matilde Inglese,Robert W. Motl,Maria A. Rocca,Brian M. Sandroff,Amber Salter,Gary Cutter +19 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that CR and EX are effective treatments for people with PMS who have cognitive impairment, in particular processing speed (PS) deficits, and that a combination of these two treatments is more effective than each individual treatment given alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional and structural plasticity following action observation training in multiple sclerosis.
Maria A. Rocca,Alessandro Meani,Silvia Fumagalli,Elisabetta Pagani,Roberto Gatti,Filippo Martinelli-Boneschi,Federica Esposito,Paolo Preziosa,Claudio Cordani,Giancarlo Comi,Massimo Filippi +10 more
TL;DR: The 10-day AOT promotes clinical improvements in MS patients through structural and functional modifications of the action observation matching system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging Cortical Damage and Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis
Massimo Filippi,Maria A. Rocca,Mark A. Horsfield,Simon Hametner,Jeroen J. G. Geurts,Giancarlo Comi,Hans Lassmann +6 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes the main findings from studies using both conventional and modern quantitative magnetic resonance-based techniques for the assessment of cortical damage and dysfunction in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Journal Article
A comparison of MR imaging with fast-FLAIR, HASTE-FLAIR, and EPI-FLAIR sequences in the assessment of patients with multiple sclerosis.
Massimo Filippi,Maria A. Rocca,Martin Wiessmann,Silvia Mennea,Mara Cercignani,Tarek A. Yousry,Maria Pia Sormani,Giancarlo Comi +7 more
TL;DR: Their reduced ability to detect smaller lesions indicates that they should not be used as a routine approach to imaging patients with MS, but they may be useful for making a rapid diagnosis of MS in uncooperative patients.
