Reinventing Yourself With Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Multiple Sclerosis

In brief

Given the knowledge that detriments in QOL, well-being, and participation are common in MS and attributable in a large part to individual, person-specific factors (e.g., self-efficacy), efforts to develop interventions aimed at addressing these factors is well needed and likely to have a significant impact. The proposed investigation will consist of two phases involving participant recruitment and data collection. Phase 1 will consist of a focus group aimed at identifying the unique needs of individuals with MS, and findings will be used to adapt the Reinventing Yourself after Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) intervention to Reinventing Yourself with MS. Phase 2 will consist of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in which the feasibility and efficacy of the intervention in a new population can be examined.
