A Pilot, Single-Arm Feasibility Study of a Multidimensional Behavioural Intervention for Cognitive Fatigability in Multiple Sclerosis: Mental Energy Boost Program
To assess the feasibility of an 8-week, group-based, videoconference-delivered behavioral intervention for cognitive fatigability (CF) in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS).
Key Findings:
54% of screened PwMS were eligible, with 86% enrollment reflecting high recruitment uptake.
92% of participants rated their satisfaction >5 on a 10-point scale.
Per session attendance averaged 81.62%, with an 89% completion rate.
High treatment fidelity was observed, with 79% adherence to session length.
Interpretation:
Most feasibility indicators met 'GREEN' criteria, suggesting readiness to proceed to a full-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT), with the recruitment period needing adjustments.
Limitations:
Recruitment period duration fell within the AMBER zone, indicating procedural adjustments are necessary.
Conclusion:
The study supports progression to a full trial, with no indicators falling in the RED zone.
