Validity and Reliability of the Language Memory Test (LMT) in Belgium

Assessing the Validity and Reliability of the Language Memory Test for Use in a Belgian Population of People With Multiple Sclerosis

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Oct 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study aims to evaluate the practical and research utility of a new test assessing language and memory in people with MS. To this end, we are administering the test to a group of 100 individuals with MS who are receiving treatment at the National MS Center Melsbroek. These data will allow us to determine whether scores on the new test correlate with those of established cognitive tests. Subsequently, we will administer the new test to 100 individuals without an MS diagnosis who are matched for age, gender, and education level. This will enable us to assess whether there are significant differences in scores between individuals with MS and those without the diagnosis. One year later, we will re-administer the tests to the participants with MS to determine the extent to which changes in scores on the new test correspond to changes in scores on established tests.
