Mean scores of BICAMS tests during and after MS relapse.

Test	MSr group during relapse (MSr1) (N = 60)	MSr group 1 month after relapse (MSr2) (N = 60)	MSr group 3 months after relapse (MSr3) (N = 60)	ANOVA	Post hoc
SDMT	40.18 ± 11.42	46.20 ± 12.28	46.62 ± 10.96	F = 43.08; p < 0.001*	MSr1 < MSr2,MSr3 MSr2 = MSr3
BVMT-R (0–36)	22.57 ± 6.07	26.30 ± 4.56	26.93 ± 4.62	F = 34.73; p < 0.001*	MSr1 < MSr2,MSr3 MSr2 = MSr3
CVLT-II (0–80)	52.02 ± 9.61	58.45 ± 8.36	60.57 ± 9.59	F = 65.87; p < 0.001	MSr1 < MSr2 < MSr3
CVLT-II delayed recall (0–16)	12.23 ± 2.66	13.72 ± 2.22	13.98 ± 2.04	F = 33.84; p < 0.001*	MSr1 < MSr2,MSr3 MSr2 = MSr3

MSr1 – relapsing MS patients during relapse, MSr2 – relapsing MS patients one month after relapse, MSr3 – relapsing MS patients three months after relapse, SDMT – Symbol Digit Modalities Test, BVMT-R – Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised, CVLT-II – California verbal learning test, II ed.

^*Repeated-measures analysis of variance (rmANOVA) with Greenhouse-Geisser correction for violation of sphericity was used.
