Because literature on adherence to treatment recommendations made after neuropsychological testing in multiple sclerosis (MS) is lacking, this study evaluated adherence and reasons for nonadherence. Relationships between adherence to recommendations and various other factors in patients with MS were also evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Of 66 adult patients seen for neuropsychological testing at an MS center, 55 were eligible for this study. Forty-five patients (mean age, 43.4 years; 75.6% women) were reached by phone, and all agreed to an interview involving questions regarding adherence to treatment recommendations. Other information was obtained through retrospective medical record review.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Overall self-reported adherence to recommendations made from neuropsychological testing was 38%. Adherence rates varied by recommendation type: psychopharmacological management had the highest rate (80%), and referrals for cognitive rehabilitation had the lowest (6.5%). Reasons for nonadherence included needing more information and wanting to speak with one's physician regarding the recommendations. Adherence was associated with patients' ability to spontaneously recall at least some of their recommendations and with receiving both a written report and a phone call with test results.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Adherence to recommendations made after neuropsychological testing for patients with MS is low. Points of intervention may be to give directed feedback for each recommendation and to provide both a written report and a phone call with results and recommendations. Asking patients to repeat back the recommendations may be a simple and efficient way to increase understanding and improve adherence.<\/jats:p>\n
