Brain Boost Program to Improve Cognitive Function in People With Systemic Sclerosis

Running, not enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Scleroderma

In brief

The purpose of this study is to examine whether an 8-week online educational group-based program tailored to people with systemic sclerosis can help improve cognitive function and well-being. The study team hypothesize that participants that receive the intervention will have better improvements immediately after treatment at week 8 in all cognitive function measures, non-cognitive symptoms, and self-management compared to those in the waitlist control.
