It is a neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by progressive ataxia. FRDA is also associated with cognitive impairments. To date, the evolution of cognitive functioning is unknown. Our aim was to investigate the changes in the cognitive functioning of FRDA patients over an average eight-year timeframe. In addition, we aimed to study the relationship between cognitive changes and clinical variables.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1355617720000958_as2\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty-nine FRDA patients who had been part of the sample of a previous study participated in the present study. The mean average time between the two assessments was 8.24 years. The participants completed an extensive battery of neuropsychological tests chosen to examine cognitive functioning in various cognitive domains: processing speed, attention, working memory, executive functions, verbal and visual memory, visuoperceptive and visuospatial skills, visuoconstructive functions and language.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1355617720000958_as3\">\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>At follow-up, cerebellar symptoms had worsened, and patients presented greater disability. Differences between baseline and follow-up were observed in motor and cognitive reaction times, several trials of the Stroop test, semantic fluency, and block designs. No other cognitive changes were observed. Deterioration in simple cognitive reactions times and block designs performance correlated with the progression of cerebellar symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1355617720000958_as4\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study has demonstrated for the first time that patients with FRDA experience a significant decline over time in several cognitive domains. Specifically, after an eight-year period, FRDA patients worsened in processing speed, fluency, and visuoconstructive skills.
