      Andravizou A., Artemiadis A., Bakirtzis C., Siokas V., Aloizou A.-M., Peristeri E., Kapsalaki E., Tsimourtou V., Hadjigeorgiou G.M., Dardiotis E. (2019)
      Objectives: In this study, we aimed to explore the extent and clinical relevance of brain volume dynamics in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Methods: Sixty-three patients with RRMS with a disease duration ...
    • Clinically reliable cognitive decline in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis: Is it the tip of the iceberg? 

      Andravizou A., Siokas V., Artemiadis A., Bakirtzis C., Aloizou A.-M., Grigoriadis N., Kosmidis M.H., Nasios G., Messinis L., Hadjigeorgiou G., Dardiotis E., Peristeri E. (2020)

    • Cognitive Fatigability is Independent of Subjective Cognitive Fatigue and Mood in Multiple Sclerosis 

      Bakirtzis C., Nikolaidis I., Boziki M.-K., Artemiadis A., Andravizou A., Messinis L., Ioannidis P., Grigoriadis N. (2020)
      Background:Sustained cognitive testing is used to detect cognitive fatigability and is often considered a substitute for subjective cognitive fatigue (CF). However, the relationship between cognitive fatigability and ...
    • The effect of disease-modifying therapies on brain atrophy in patients with clinically isolated syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis 

      Tsivgoulis G., Katsanos A.H., Grigoriadis N., Voumvourakis K., Hadjigeorgiou G.M., Heliopoulos I., Dardiotis E., Papathanasopoulos P., Kilidireas C. (2015)
      Brain atrophy is associated with cognitive deficits in patients with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and can predict conversion to clinical definite multiple sclerosis. The aim of the present meta-analysis was to evaluate ...
    • A meta-analysis on potential modifiers of LITT efficacy for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy: Seizure-freedom seems to fade with time 

      Brotis A.G., Giannis T., Paschalis T., Kapsalaki E., Dardiotis E., Fountas K.N. (2021)

    • Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Cognition, and Multiple Sclerosis: An Overview 

      Nasios G., Messinis L., Dardiotis E., Papathanasopoulos P. (2018)
      Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects cognition in the majority of patients. A major aspect of the disease is brain volume loss (BVL), present in all phases and types (relapsing and progressive) of the disease and linked to both ...
