My MS Toolkit: An Internet-Based Depression Self-Management Program for Adults Living With Multiple Sclerosis

2 juni 2026 bijgewerkt door: Dawn Ehde, University of Washington
We are conducting this study to test if the new Toolkit depression module is accessible and helpful for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) in decreasing depression severity.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

First, we will modify My MS Toolkit to make it more helpful and relevant to adults with MS and depressive symptoms. We plan to add:

  1. a depression-specific step with robust content about depressive symptoms, disorders, and treatments specific to MS
  2. a depression quiz to help participants understand their depression symptoms and what Toolkit skills will be most helpful to them based on the quiz
  3. more resources specific to depression self-management and care, including resources within the MS community
  4. information on how to get mental health treatment if needed.

Second, we will evaluate the ease, convenience, and effectiveness of the improved My MS Toolkit. We will compare how well the Toolkit reduces people's feelings of depression compared to those who don't have access to the Toolkit. We will use website data to assess participant engagement and treatment ease, and explore factors like age, initial feelings of depression, and other symptoms that may impact outcomes. Understanding these factors will help determine who benefits most from My MS Toolkit and who might need different depression treatments.

Participants will either have access or no access to the Toolkit for 4 months and complete 3 online surveys over that time period.

Wapens en interventies

Deelnemersgroep / Arm
Interventie / Behandeling
Experimenteel: My MS Toolkit
Participants will be given access to the My MS Toolkit and encouraged to start their participation via a "Getting Started" page that provides guidance on how best to use the program's modules. This is accessed online via the Internet.
Apparaat: My MS Toolkit
The My MS Toolkit is an online self-management intervention created for and in partner with people living with multiple sclerosis. With an approach based in cognitive behavioral therapy, this program guides users in building skills to help manage common symptoms of MS, such as fatigue, pain, and depression.
Geen tussenkomst: Usual Care
Participants will be notified of their assignment to the waitlist and told that they can continue to receive or seek care as they normally would, including care from their MS health care provider. After completion of the final 4-month assessment, usual care participants will obtain access to My MS Toolkit and will be encouraged to use it.

Wat meet het onderzoek?

Primaire uitkomstmaten

Uitkomstmaat
Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
Depressive Symptom Severity
Tijdsspanne: Baseline (prior to treatment), 12-week and 4-month
This will be measured using the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Short Form v1.0 Depression 8a. Change from pre- to post-treatment will be measured and compared between My MS Toolkit and usual care participants. Responses from each item will be summed to form a total raw score ranging from 4-20. Higher scores indicate higher self-reported levels of depressive symptoms.
Baseline (prior to treatment), 12-week and 4-month

Secundaire uitkomstmaten

Uitkomstmaat
Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
Sleep Disturbance
Tijdsspanne: Baseline (prior to treatment), 12-week, and 4-month
Change in sleep quality will be measured with the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Sleep Disturbance Short Form 4a, version 1.0. Responses from each item will be summed to form a total raw score ranging from 4-20. Higher scores indicate higher self-reported levels of sleep disturbance.
Baseline (prior to treatment), 12-week, and 4-month
Fatigue Severity
Tijdsspanne: Baseline (prior to treatment), 12-week, and 4-month
Change in fatigue severity will be measured with the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Fatigue-MS Short Form 8a, version 1.0. Responses from each item will be summed to form a total raw score ranging from 8-40. Higher scores indicate higher self-reported levels of fatigue.
Baseline (prior to treatment), 12-week, and 4-month
Fatigue Impact
Tijdsspanne: Baseline (prior to treatment), 12-week, and 4-month
Change in fatigue impact will be measured using the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS). In the 21-item MFIS, participants rate their agreement with each statement on a 5-point Likert scale, from 0 = 'Never' to 4 = 'Almost always'.. Responses can add up to a total score (0-84) and subscales for physical (0-36), cognitive (0-40) and psychosocial functioning (0-8). Higher numbers indicate greater impact of fatigue on a person's activities.
Baseline (prior to treatment), 12-week, and 4-month
Pain Intensity
Tijdsspanne: Baseline (prior to treatment), 12-week, and 4-month
Participant-rated pain intensity assessed via the 3-item Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pain Intensity scale. Raw scores range from 3-15. Higher scores indicate higher self-reported levels of pain intensity.
Baseline (prior to treatment), 12-week, and 4-month
Anxiety
Tijdsspanne: Baseline (prior to treatment), 12-week, and 4-month
Change in symptoms of anxiety will be measured with the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Anxiety Short Form 7a, version 1.0. Responses from each item will be summed to form a total raw score ranging from 7-35. Higher scores indicate higher self-reported levels of anxiety symptoms.
Baseline (prior to treatment), 12-week, and 4-month
Pain Interference
Tijdsspanne: Baseline (prior to treatment), 12-week, and 4-month
Change in pain interference will be measured with the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pain Interference Short Form 6a, version 1.1. Responses from each item will be summed to form a total raw score ranging from 6-30. Higher scores indicate higher self-reported levels of pain interference.
Baseline (prior to treatment), 12-week, and 4-month
Social Participation
Tijdsspanne: Baseline (prior to treatment), 12-week, and 4-month
Change in pain interference will be measured with the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pain Interference Short Form 6a, version 1.1. Responses from each item will be summed to form a total raw score ranging from 8-40. Higher scores indicate greater self-reported satisfaction and a higher quality of life regarding ability to engage with family, friends, and daily responsibilities.
Baseline (prior to treatment), 12-week, and 4-month
Treatment Engagement
Tijdsspanne: 12-week and 4-month
Treatment engagement will be assessed through examination of website analytic data such as number and duration of page visits.
12-week and 4-month
Treatment Satisfaction
Tijdsspanne: 12-week and 4-month
Global assessment of treatment satisfaction will be measured by participant self-report on a scale of 0 (very dissatisfied) - 4 (very satisfied).
12-week and 4-month
Treatment Recommendation
Tijdsspanne: 12-week and 4-month
Treatment recommendation will be measured using an adapted version of the NET Promoter Score. Participations will be asked how likely they are to recommend the treatment to a friend or colleague with MS and depression on a scale of 0 (Not at all likely) to 10 (Extremely likely).
12-week and 4-month
Perception of Change
Tijdsspanne: 12-week and 4-month
Global impression of change will be measured by participant self-report. Participants will report, since the start of the study, how much they think their overall depression or depressive symptom severity has changed on a scale of 1 (no change) - 7 (A great deal better and a considerable improvement that has made all the difference).
12-week and 4-month
Self-Efficacy
Tijdsspanne: Baseline (prior to treatment),12-week, and 4-month
Self-efficacy will be measured using the University of Washington Self-Efficacy Scale(UW-SES) 6a Short Form v1.0. Raw scores range from 6-30. Higher scores indicate greater belief in ability to manage challenges and achieve desired outcomes.
Baseline (prior to treatment),12-week, and 4-month
