Examining the Effects of a Telehealth Self-management Intervention in Multiple Sclerosis
16 de diciembre de 2021 actualizado por: Matthew Plow, Case Western Reserve University
Examining the Effects of Physical Activity Promotion, Fatigue Management Education, and Social Support Using a Telehealth Intervention Approach Among Adults With Multiple Sclerosis
The objective of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of a telehealth intervention that supports individuals in managing fatigue and increasing physical activity (PA) behavior in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS).
The hypothesis is that a fatigue management plus physical activity intervention will significantly improve fatigue, quality of life, physical function, and community integration.

Descripción detallada
The long-term objective of this study is to use a telehealth intervention approach to reduce the devastating effects of the reciprocal relationship between fatigue and inactivity on quality of life and participation in life roles in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Chronic fatigue and inactivity are common problems in persons with MS, and the reciprocal relationship between fatigue and inactivity may have negative synergistic effects on quality of life and participation in life roles.
The proposed study is novel in that it represents a multi-disciplinary effort to merge two promising lines of MS research: fatigue management and PA promotion.
The proposed fatigue management plus PA intervention (FM+) will consist of incorporating a modified teleconference version of Packer et al.'s empirically-tested Fatigue Management program with innovative, yet simple approaches to promote lifestyle PA by encouraging goal-setting and self-monitoring with a pedometer.
Ambulatory individuals with MS will be recruited and randomized into one of three telehealth interventions: social support intervention, PA-only intervention, and FM+.

Comparador activo: Social Support Program
The social support program will consist of 6 weekly, 1.25-hours, teleconference calls with 4 biweekly, 15 minute, follow-up one-to-one phone calls.
Topics will include information on MS, disease modifying medications, preventive screening, community organizations, nutrition, cognitive problems, and hiring an aide.

Comparador activo: Physical Activity Program
The physical activity education program will consist of 3 weekly, 1.25-hours, teleconference calls with 4 biweekly, 15 minute, follow-up one-to-one phone calls.
Subjects in this program will learn MS-specific benefits of physical activity, how to use a pedometer to self-monitor their progress for increasing physical activity levels, and learn strategies for maintaining their progress in the program.

Comparador activo: Physical Activity Plus Fatigue
The physical activity plus fatigue management education program will consist of 6 weekly, 1.25-hours, teleconference calls with 4 biweekly, 15 minute, follow-up one-to-one phone calls.
Subjects in this program will learn MS-specific benefits of physical activity, how to use a pedometer to self-monitor their progress for increasing physical activity levels, and learn strategies for maintaining their progress in the program.
In addition, subjects in this course will learn strategies to reduce fatigue, such as taking rest breaks and re-arranging workspace.
