AB  - BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has underlined the need to evaluate cognitive 
      profile via videoconferencing (teleneuropsychology, TeleNP) as a suitable 
      alternative to face-to-face assessment (F-F). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the 
      feasibility and the reliability of Rao's Brief Repeatable Battery of 
      Neuropsychological Tests (R-BRB) remote administration in people with multiple 
      sclerosis (PwMS). METHODS: Sixty PwMS underwent R-BRB in two conditions: F-F and 
      TeleNP, 1 month apart. RESULTS: Cognitive test performance was similar, 
      regardless of the administration type, but visuospatial test performance was 
      better in F-F. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that TeleNP is feasible and highly 
      reliable in MS clinical practice.
