Acceptability and Feasibility of the English Version of Elevida, a Self-Guided Online Fatigue Intervention for People With Multiple Sclerosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fatigue is common in multiple sclerosis (MS); it significantly impairs quality of life, and treatment options are limited. A randomized controlled trial of Elevida, a self-guided, online German fatigue intervention, showed significant benefit. We tested an English version of Elevida with people with MS in Australia.

Methods

Participants were volunteers with MS who self-reported at least mild fatigue (≥ 43 on the Fatigue Scale for Motor and Cognitive Functions scale), some mobility (Expanded Disability Status Scale < 8), and no or mild cognitive difficulties (≤ 32 on the Multiple Sclerosis Neuropsychological Questionnaire). Participants completed the 9-week English Elevida program, commenting on and rating its acceptability. The Chalder Fatigue Scale was completed
