Working memory | (n = 10) | (n = 21) | |
FSS | 2.2 (0.9) | 4.2 (1.2) | <0.001 |
Fatigue | (n = 7) | (n = 14) | |
SRRS | 11.6 (10.7) | 19.4 (10.9) | ns |

The RRMS and control groups mean values differed significantly across all the cognitive measures but only on one of the self-report measures, the FSS. ns: not significant, all values are reported as mean (SD).
